The Underdark—a place where darkness reigns, where there are no shadows. Drizzt Do’Urden doesn’t want to go there. But a noble drow must return. He will find himself again in Blingdenstone—the city of deep gnomes—where he’ll meet old friends, and then continue his path into Menzoberranzan. And only once he is in a city of drow will Drizzt learn what terrible conspiracy is being woven there, threatening his friends in Mithril Hall.
He will find allies where he least expects them and encounter enemies he never thought he would see. He will fight monsters so vicious that there is no place for them in a world under the sun, while his soul is torn apart by contradictory feelings that seize the noble drow when he returns to his terrifying homeland. And all this time, Drizzt will have to live under the weight of guilt for the death of a dear friend.
