THE SHOWDOWN IS NEAR! Drizzt Do'Urden unsheathes his blades once more to aid his friends. His companion Dahlia Sin'Fell eagerly awaits the moment she will confront Herzgo Alegni again.

Drizzt has already followed Dahlia down the path of vengeance, but this time he struggles to justify yet another battle over a dispute he does not understand. However, Artemus Entreri seeks revenge and offers his assistance to Dahlia to destroy Alegni.

But the Charoncle, Alegni's magical sword, controls Entreri's movements - if not his mind as well. And it's also the way Artemus looks at Dahlia... Can Drizzt truly trust his old rival at the crucial moment of the showdown?
