The City of Splendors: A Waterdeep Novel

The City of Splendors: A Waterdeep Novel by Ed Greenwood and Elaine Cunningham is the fourth and final book in The Cities series.

"In the streets of Waterdeep, conspiracies run like water through the gutters, bubbling beneath the seeming calm of the city's life. As a band of young, foppish lords discovers there is a dark side to the city they all love, a sinister mage and his son seek to create perverted creatures to further their twisted ends.

And across it sprawls the great city itself: brawling, drinking, laughing, living life to the fullest.

Even in the face of death."

Synopsis
The novel opens on 30 Ches in the Year of the Tankard (1370 DR) with the ocean-side siege of Waterdeep by the saughrim.
