Not wanting to return home to the dark and cruel world of the Underdark, Liriel Baenre, the former princess of the First House of Menzoberranzan, goes to Rashemen - the homeland of her lover, the berserker warrior Fyodor. He is ready to protect the “little crow” at the cost of his life, but the possession of an ancient amulet makes the drow girl a desirable prey for numerous enemies. And the dark elf does not manage to win the trust of her friends right away - centuries-old mutual prejudices are too strong. In Rashemen, Liriel, at the cost of cruel trials and irreparable losses, comprehends her destiny.
