Description

A mysterious spell threatens the history and legacy of the realms in this second installment in the Song & Swords series
 
The bards of Waterdeep are known far and wide for their powerful ability to remember the past and to protect the sanctity and ancient history of the realms. But now, a dark spell is threatening the skills they so cherish, and even as the bards sing their ballads, their memories are dangerously altered.
 
Danilo Thann, Harper and would-be bard, sets out to uncover the show more mystery and preserve the integrity of his kind. His quest leads him to people and places he never imagined—including the rouge elf Elaith Craulnober, his deadliest enemy and now his newfound companion. They must set aside their differences and come together for the sake of their homeland, for at stake is not merely the future of Faerûn but also its past. show less

I so enjoyed these books when I was younger, but as I've gotten older I just don't find them as compelling.
Los bardos de Aguas Profundas recuerdan el pasado... o eso creen. Porque cuando cantan sus baladas, un misterioso sortilegio cambia sus recuerdos. Danilo Thann, arpista y candidato a bardo, tiene que resolver ese enigma. En su misión, su principal aliado es su peor enemigo, el elfo canalla Elaith Craulnober. Lo que está en juego no es sólo el futuro de Faerun, sino su pasado.
