Apparently, some magical force is invading Greyhawk, a fine medieval city. It kills some of the famous and dignified seers of Greyhawk. The murders aren't random and it seems that the magicians who cast the murders don't want the seers to tell the future - some kind of scheme is being plotted. Garett Starlen, head of the Nightwatch of Greyhawk is troubled by the murders and plans to investigate the happening together with his comrades. A sense of helplessness prevails in Greyhawk and Garett is the only one who can save it from being.......The book is very fun to read and altough it's fiction, it's classic fiction (dragons,wizards,magic). Until the end it keeps you wondering what is the force who bothers Greyhawk. The book is written in a rich language and gives you the feeling you're actually in that era. The only thing that made me give this book 4 stars is that i expected a more sophisticated or rather longer ending. GREAT BOOK - READ IT !!!
The City of Greyhawk...in the future!!!!

I read this book 8 years ago and I enjoyed it a lot! The action takes place in the City of Greyhawk, but not the City of Greyhawk you're used to. It takes place in the future, a future where the mayor Nerof Gasgall and the Circle of the Eight had misteriously disapeared. The captain of the City Night Watch must investigate several murders to prevent a civil war between the city's temples. Great book!

This is a great book, once its magic has captured you, you will not be able to pull away, it is filled with mystery and enchantment and a MUST read. I have read numerous magic books in my time, but this one is one of the only ones that involves a character in each field, and it displays them so vividly. If you haven't read this book, Read it.
