The new journey of Drizzt Do'Urden continues. Now his companion is the eccentric elf Dahlia. Her past and the demons lurking within it are a mystery to Drizzt, and a riddle too tempting not to try to solve.

Their next target is the powerful Thayan sorceress Sylora Salm, servant of the lich Szass Tema. And Dahlia's longtime enemy.

But she is not the only one who wants to destroy Sylora. The Netherese and their champion Barrabus also have some scores to settle with the sorceress and her accomplices.

But no one even realizes that the dark elf Drizzt and Barrabus the Gray are united by something more than just common enemies...
