Will their be a sequel? I know it'S been a long time since it was print and all... But that's one of my favorite novel ever in the realms. I just keep read it when I have time and nothing new to read.
And with the futur death of Mystra and all the change in magic and Shadow magic, what whill apen to them? What will appen to Mateo and Tzigone?

| Why don't you ask Elaine on her scroll? I would be interested in more adventures of Matteo and Tzigone. |

| I have the first part, but can't find the rest. It drives me crazy.. Are there any plans of reprinting them? |

Hi, folks. Thanks for your interest in Matteo, Tzigone, and Halruaa.
I wish I could answer these questions, but I have no idea what plans WotC might have for these books. At present, they are officially OOP. It is possible, I suppose, that they might be reprinted as an omnibus somewhere along the line, but I consider this unlikely. What with 4e coming up, the focus will most likely be on the future, not the past.
If anything develops, I'll be sure to pass along the news.
Best,
ec |

Try eBay. I see the books on there on occasion (including an auction that ended yesterday). Many sellers will ship internationally, too. And the extra dollars (or euros, or whatnot) are a better bargain than your soul.  |

| Sometimes Amazon has used versions of the trilogy, too. I bought book 2 used on Amazon, since it was already sold out as new version. |

Very true. I do not recommend soul-selling. 
I wish I had extra copies of the trilogy to spare, but I lost most of my author copies of FLOODGATE in--wait for it--a flood.
Okay, it was a SMALL flood. Or more accurately, a leaking hot water heater. But hey--wet is wet.
This story would be better if I had a dog who chewed up my extra copies of the MAGEHOUND.

| Yeah, I've searched eBay like a million times but I never seems to find a seller who ship internationally. Same on Amazon. |

That's odd... I've gotten eBay stuff from Canada, Italy, England, Taiwan, and Australia more than once, and from Japan several times. The stuff from Canada seems to take the longest. |

| I bought the first book in the series in a store a few years ago. They had one copy of each book in the trilogy. I assumed the rest of them would be there when I had more money. No such luck. I often curse myself for leaving them behind. |

I made a similar mistake (I bought the first when it came out, but didn't try to buy the others til a couple of years later). I was lucky and found a used copy of the second one for not too much, but I have not been able to find the third one for anywhere near or below list price. |

| I'm a bit hesitant about the shipping rates from ebay (I live in Scandinavia). Not everyone wants to send books outside US either. |

I remember about an Elaine's post where she writes about the sequels of our favorite characters of hers.
I do not have time enough to find this post back but I'm afraid of remembering she wrote there would not exist any sequel...
But I write again that I'm not sure anymore !
EDIT : And welcome to the Keep Cacoxxx.
I will add that having a look at the future of Halruaa seems to mean that there wont be Councelors & Kings sequels anymore. Don't you think so ?
Looks like you are right.
And by the way, Murder in Halruaa is a fun read, grab it if you can!!!(especially in hardcover!) |

Are you asking about D&D 4th Edition or the Forgotten Realms 4th Edition (the results of the new edition of D&D on the Realms)? They are, to many, two very different things. |

FR or the Forgotten Realms is the shared setting/campaign world (created by Ed Greenwood) for the Dungeons and Dragons Role playing game.
The Counselors and Kings Trilogy (as well as many other fine novels and short stories) is set in this shared world .
4e or 4th Edition is the most recent version of both the Dungeons & Dragons game and the FR campaign setting.
The 4e of the FR setting has introduced many changes. Most significantly (IMO) the introduction of a 100 year Time Leap forward and the destruction of the Land of Halruaa (one of my favorite areas).
I'd say you were pretty lucky to pick up the set in a book store. A second hand full set from Amazon goes for around £50 these days.

I also found the Book I in hardcover but not the second nor the third ones. They simply seem not to exist.
They don't. WotC published all three books as mass market paperback originals, but the first book was printed in hard cover for the Science Fiction Book Club. The next two books were not picked up by the book club. |
