Pool of Radiance: The Ruins of Myth Drannor by Carrie Bebris is a novel based on the computer game of the same name by SSI.
“
A malevolent pool. A diabolical cult. A horrific plan.
A dracolich and his sorcerous queen have seized control of the Mythal, the ancient magic that once protected the war-ravaged elven capital.
Once the elven ruin is completely in their thrall, the cult intends to expand its domination one city—and one soul—at a time.
The fate of all Faerûn lies with four reluctant heroes.”
