In this Forgotten Realms novel, R. A. Salvatore centers the story on two well-known assassins: Jarlaxle, a dark elf master of intrigue, and Artemis Entreri, a ruthless human killer. Their paths intersect in the bustling port city of Calimport, where they must contend with each other’s motives as well as the growing menace of the Crystal Shard. This artifact, introduced earlier in Salvatore’s series, exerts a corrupting influence that heightens the tension between the two deadly protagonists.
