Books like The Reaver by Richard Lee Byers
Endless rain scourges the Sea of Fallen Stars and its coastal regions, while crops fail and commerce stalls. In their desperation, many turn to Umberlee, Queen of the Deeps, offering sacrifices for relief. Evendur Highcastle, a risen undead pirate captain, claims the mantle of Umberlee’s Chosen and seeks both spiritual and temporal power. Opposing him is Stedd Whitehorn, a young boy chosen by Lathander, the Morninglord, whose message of renewal clashes sharply with Highcastle’s savage ethos. When Highcastle captures Stedd to claim a bounty, the conflict escalates amid the growing storm.
