Years after the fall of the Absolute, Arabella returns to Baldur's Gate-not as the frightened tiefling child she once was, but as a gifted sorceress chasing whispers of a relic lost to time. A ring said to let vampires walk beneath the sun.
Astarion, the once-feared vampire spawn who helped save her life, hasn't changed-or so she thought. He's still sharp-tongued, impossible to read, and more distant than ever. But when Arabella asks for his help, their reunion sparks something neither of them can name. Not yet.
As signs of a splinter cult rise in the shadows of the city, old allies return-Tav, Gale, Shadowheart, Lae'zel, and more-drawn back into a fight they thought was over. But while the world braces for another storm, Arabella and Astarion are forced to face a truth even more terrifying than gods or monsters:
Some bonds were never meant to fade.
And some love stories take a lifetime to begin.
