**This second book in New York Times bestselling author R. A.
Salvatore's all-new Forgotten Realms trilogy--full of swordplay,
danger, and imaginative thrills--features one of fantasy's most beloved
and enduring characters, Drizzt Do'Urden.
**
Split between time and two worlds, Zaknafein had always been conflicted.
That inner turmoil was magnified by his inferior position as a male dark
elf in the matriarchal drow society. Only his status as one of the
greatest warriors--as well as his friendship with the mercenary
Jarlaxle--kept him sane. When he finally perished, he was content
knowing he left behind a legacy as substantial as his son Drizzt.
Except . . . someone isn't ready for Zaknafein to be dead. And now he's
back, hundreds of years later, in a world he doesn't recognize. His
son's companions are not the prideful--and bigoted--males the drow
warrior was accustomed to in his previous life. Drizzt's circle includes
dwarves, elves, and, perhaps worst of all, a human wife.
Struggling to navigate this transformed new world, Zaknafein realizes
that some things have not changed: the threat of demons and the
machinations of a drow matron no longer content with her family's
position in the ranks of Houses.
Though he has been displaced in time, Zaknafein is still a warrior. And
no matter what prejudices he must overcome, he knows he will do his duty
and fight by Drizzt's side to stem the tide of darkness that threatens
the Realms.
