It seemed that the time of loneliness and wandering was behind him. The dark elf Drizzt Do’Urden, along with his friends, settled in the safe, prosperous Mithril Hall, where veins of silvery metal—mithril—are found, and the clanging hammers of hardworking dwarves keep the ceremonial rhythm of the clan’s ancient song.
But in the past—one that, as Drizzt thought, was over forever—he left behind powerful enemies. Among them are Lloth, the Spider Queen, the terrible deity of the dark elves drow, who vowed revenge on their rebellious kin. And Drizzt Do’Urden accepts the challenge they threw down. Only then will the dark legacy that demands new and new victims finally leave his life once and for all.
