Summary
"A drow does not love, and does not trust. These things are weapons that can be turned against you, weaknesses that can be driven into your heart with more surety than any blade."
Ryme'dra Ulutar loved once - and swore to never be so foolish again. Raised by poor crafters in the lower levels of Ched Nasad, she lost her love to the conniving machinations of a Daughter of a noble House. Declared a murderer and a traitor, a life on the surface seemed too miserable to contemplate... but she did not know that living would prove the harder choice.
Gale Dekarios loved once - and it seems very likely to have signed his death warrant. Ambition has always been his greatest folly, and with his days quite literally numbered, he has tried and failed to embrace a noble, lonely death. Now infected with an illithid tadpole, he has limited time to work out how to cure his newest affliction, or risk a newly risen god from taking control of the city-leveling bomb in his chest.
But first of all, there's a sullen and amoral drow with a similarly terrible secret in their party, and he's never been one to resist a mystery.

Summary
The Cult of the Absolute tadpoled thousands of people across the Sword Coast in the years leading up to the Absolute Crisis. When our titular hero awoke aboard the nautiloid, they were one of dozens who were unfortunate enough to be abducted that day - but what if there were others who survived long enough to stumble into the Emperor's protection, and join Tav on their fateful journey?

Summary
In 1482DR, Bhaal's triumphant resurrection comes at the cost of the life of his daughter. For Enver Gortash, aspirational Banite caught in her orbit, that cost is unacceptable - and the bargain he makes to undo her death will have repercussions across the years and across the planes
In 1492DR, the Absolute Crisis teeters between chaos and collapse, undone by the workings of the courageous and charismatic paladin Carmela Tavares. Amongst her ragtag group of unlikely heroes is a woman without a past, and a voracious hunger for blood and death. To save the people of Baldur's Gate, and protect the Sword Coast from ruin, she must uncover her history with the city and the man who rules it, before Tavares calls for both of their deaths
Two people, ostensibly villains, drawn together across the years and despite the forces aligned against them. They'll fight gods and their own sense of self preservation for each other, but will that be enough?

Summary
"You are a treasure, and I should like to hold you in my arms and whisk you about! How you would laugh, Franc. Of course, people would say we're in love.
And I do. I do love you, Franc. I love any man willing to birth a little more slithering, wet malice into the world."Franc Peartree receives a certain letter from the newly appointed Archduke of Baldur's Gate. It includes a request to meet him urgently at Flymm's Cargo.
