The Brotherhood of the Griffon's war against Thay grinds on, keeping Aoth Fezim's mercenary company in the middle of a conflict shaped as much by Thayan political intrigue as by open battle. Richard Lee Byers carries the company's fortunes forward from The Captive Flame without letting any single victory settle the war. The Spectral Blaze continues the series for readers already following Aoth's company rather than serving as an entry point.
