Guys forgive me if this has been asked, but I did try the search feature first. I have not read any current Realms novels in a while. I have read a ton in the past. I was curious which novels deal with the Spellplague, and what order should they be read? Thanks in advance.

Start with Unclean by Richard Lee Byers. You'll figure things out soon after that....l

"Plague of Spells" deals with the Spellplague in a very direct way, as the title suggests. The story takes place in 1395-96 DR, and gives the best descriptors of the 'plague's personal effects, IMHO. Unfortunately, I just don't like the story that much, though the characters are interesting enough.

"Undead," "Unclean" and "Unholy" (I think that's the correct names...) should give you a good picture of how the 'plague effected the high and mighty/political entities. Any storyline that makes the dread lord of Thay reconsider is a good one for me.

"Mistshore" is probably my favorite of the stand-alone titles, so far, and it deals heavily with the loss of Mystra, though it's not clear until the end.

The order you read them in won't matter, though if I were you, I'd wait 'til "Unholy" comes out before reading the first two of that trilogy.

Guys again thanks. I amm just getting back into the FR after a long time away. This gives me a chance to get up to speed.
