The Halls of Stormweather

The Halls of Stormweather, a novel in seven parts, is the first book in The Sembia series, exploring the merchant-nation of Sembia and those who dwell within.

"Sembia is a land of wealth and power, where rival families buy and sell everything imaginable - even life itself.

In that unforgiving realm, the Uskevren family may hold the rarest commodity of all: honor.

But even they have their secrets, and at least as many enemies.

This anthology of seven stories introduces not just one realm of good and evil, not just one family of troubled heroes, but the whole of the remarkable FORGOTTEN REALMS world. Their adventure, and yours, begins here."
