“Salvatore’s strongest fantasy to date . . . [His] potent mixture of detailed historical context, wellrounded characters, brisk pacing, and exciting battle scenes make for a consuming read.”—Publishers Weekly
With the demon dactyl and its foul minions defeated, the war-weary citizens of the kingdom of Honce-the-Bear wish only to begin rebuilding their broken lives. Yet the specter of civil war haunts the ravaged land—and a specter more fearsome still. For the demon, though defeated, was not destroyed. And now its vengeful spirit has found an unholy sanctuary.
The elf-trained ranger Elbryan Wynden presses north to reclaim the savage Timberlands from retreating goblin hordes. His companion, Pony, mistress of gemstone magic, turns south to the civilized—but no less perilous— streets of Palmaris. Suddenly they find themselves caught up in a ruthless power struggle to decide the fate of all Corona—a struggle that will push their courage and love to the breaking point…and beyond.
“Unforgettable . . . Another rousing and masterful DemonWars adventure . . . A must-read for all fans of Salvatore’s work.”—Realms of Fantasy
