His lover, Dahlia Sin'fell, keeps talking about her upcoming face-to-face meeting with the Netherese Lord Herzgo Alegni. Drizzt has already set out on the path of revenge next to Dahlia. Can the dark elf justify another battle to end a grudge he doesn't understand? Artemis Entreri also seeks revenge. He offers Dalia help so that together they can destroy Herzgo Alegni. But Charon's Claw, the tiefling's sentient sword, controls, if not the killer's mind, then his movements. And the way Entreri looks at Dahlia... Can Drizzt trust his old enemy?
