Luthien, the legendary Crimson Shadow, the halfling Oliver, the warrior Katrin, the elf Siobhan, the dwarf Shuglin, together with their friends and fellow warriors, have liberated Eriador, while the great wizard Brind’Amour has assumed the governance of the realm. But their enemy, the wizard-king of Avon, the demonic Greensparrow, has not been defeated. On the contrary, he reveals his true nature: in ages past, he merged into a single being with the dragon Dunsalignatius, one of the most powerful creatures in the hierarchy of magical beings.
Virtually invincible, with the aid of his wizard-dukes and the Cyclopians, he intends to destroy the armies of Eriador.
As Luthien and his companions face the threat of annihilation, only their swords and the wisdom of Brind’Amour remain to them. With this volume, R. A. Salvatore’s gripping Crimson Shadow trilogy comes to its conclusion. A world where magic is the breath of both life and death, and where the sword is the only judge.
