Second book of Empyrean Odyssey. Fractured Sky, if I remember correctly.
Though Mystra's death is somewhat off-stage (in a vision and not directly seen).

SiNafay Vrinn, the daughter of Lloth, from Ched Nasad!

in fact the vision is just that, a vision and not to be taken literally

why is being a wizard like being a drow? both are likely to find a dagger in the back from a rival or one looking to further his own goals, fame and power

The first book in the Haunted Lands trilogy has a prophecy by Yaphyll, the Zulkir of Divination, that describes an "assassin" [Cyric] donning a black cloak given him by the "black queen" [Shar] and sneaking into the realm of the "white queen" [Mystra] to assassinate her.
As already stated, the second book in the Empyrean Odyssey unfolds a vision where Azuth and Mystra are berating Cyric for something when Shar arrives and does a seductive dance. Both gods of magic are distracted, and Cyric takes the opportunity to grab Azuth's Old Staff and cave in Mystra's head with it.

"Know, O mages, that there is learning, and there is wisdom, and they are very far from being the same thing."--Azuth the High One, Utterances from the Altar: Collected Verbal Manifestations of the Divine and Most Holy Lord of Spells (holy chapbook, assembled by anonymous priests of Azuth circa 1358 DR)

Sorry, I know you didnt.... just reading that reminded me how silly and impossible it all is!

As statted several times here and elsewhere this was a vision Alizza saw before it happened. What acctually happened when Cyric and Shar murdered Mystra was afaik never explained anywhere.

Yes, Cyric hit her in the head with a stick.

In much the same way I am beating this dead horse right here.....
