Well met
This is a Book Club thread for The Sword Never Sleeps (Book 3 of The Knights of Myth Drannor trilogy), by Ed Greenwood. Please discuss the chapters 17 - 24 and the epilogue herein.
The Hooded One will be here to pass on any questions to Ed and provide responses to comments.

BEST LINES I HAVE EVER READ:
"Tymora look down!" he gasped. "Such arrogance! He even labeled it!"
"Staff of Doom," Torm intoned grandly, "Made by Manshoon, mightiest of Zhentarim." He chuckled, "Modest, isn't he?"

Okay, finished the book. Another great read!
Quick question though, it ends with "So ends Book III". Will there (dare I hope) be MORE?  |

The current answer would of course be: NDA.
I'm doubting it, though, from some things reportedly said at GenCon this year (not by Ed) about the time-setting of most Realms novels, henceforth.

Update:
HOWEVER, knowing Ed as I do, and reading between the lines of some cryptic hints he's let drop across the gaming table these past few seasons, I don't think we've seen the last of Ed fiction involving the land of Cormyr, somehow.
Nor the last of Ed fiction involving Elminster.
The Knights, though, I don't know and can't even suspect anything, from what I can glean from Ed. Of course, he's said NOTHING directly, beyond "Smile, NDA, Smile, I know you understand, Smile."
love,
THO |

Considering that WotC only want to publish 4E novels, a new knights novel would be a bit contradictory (although I'd love to read about their mishaps in Shadowdale). But you never know with time portals and such...  |

Loved it , don't k ow how to say it better than that.
And Lady THO , you. Were not kidding a ways back when you said this no el would end with the Knights just barely reaching The Dales! I so want there to be a book 4 and 5. I really want to read more about their early days in Shadowdale. Twouls also be a perfect place for Ed to touch base with Hesperdan again. Would also be cool to see where The Old Ghost goes next and who he targets.
Great work Ed , can't wait for your next realms foray! Soon as I finish Shadowrealm I am going to tackle Dark Warrior Rising for another dose of your work. |

Fantastic series. I wish there were more to delve into these unassuming (*cough*) heroes lives. Any more involvement from Elminster would really render me satisfied.
Please Ed, for the love of your fans give us more! |
