Summary[]
Pavel Shemov and Will Turnstone are attacked by strange phantoms while sailing towards Hulburg, where they think Sammaster found clues as to the true nature of the Rage of Dragons; once there, they capture a Zhentilar soldier, and learn that the Zhentarim are using the psychic powers of an emerald dragon to monitor the Moonsea. They release the dragon, narrowly surviving their fight; as thanks, the dragon reveals to them that the King-Killer Star is central to the Rage before departing for another plane.
