The books were notable for the fact that they weren't originally intended for the ''Forgotten Realms'' campaign setting as detailed by Ed Greenwood but were a self-contained fantasy setting in their own right that was put in the Realms as a way to advertise the soon-to-be-released setting with some details changed.

A cursed denizen of an ancient era again walks the islands of the Moonshaes, and the sacred realm of the Goddess Earthmother shudders under its vile onslaught.
