   Summary

   When Astarion moves to Waterdeep in hopes of persuing a career in law, he stumbles upon a quaint little bookshop.

   Elminster’s Library is cosy and warm, stacked high with books and nicknacks, and Astarion feels instantly at ease when he steps over the threshold.

   Soon he befriends the handsome shopkeeper, and Astarion realises there might be more to life than work.
