Bestselling author Mel Odom returns to the magical world of the Forgotten Realms with this action-packed, high-seas adventure Long ago, Liou Chang wrote of magic, portals—and how to use them both to one's advantage. Now, Shang-Li and his father search for the Shou monk's lost works, desperate to prevent his knowledge from being twisted to evil ends. If in the wrong hands, such knowledge could spell disaster for all of Faerûn.

And to do so, she will need what Shang-Li and his father seek—the ancient books they are trying so hard to protect from creatures like her. The Wrath of the Blue Lady is the fourth and final installment in The Wilds, a series of standalone novels set in iconic Dungeons & Dragons settings. Magically distorted landscapes, jungle islands teeming with reptilian monsters, wide frontiers touched by another plane, or deep under the surface of the sea–adventure is waiting.
