About The Bands of Mourning
Legendary metalminds said to hold the Lord Ruler’s powers may be more than a myth. When a kandra brings back images and unreadable inscriptions, Waxillium Ladrian travels to New Seran to investigate—and uncovers clues to his uncle Edwarn’s plans and the shadowy organization known as the Set.
