Servant of the Shard

Surrounded by dark elves, Artemis Entreri tightens his grip on the streets of Calimport. While he urges caution, his black-skinned sponso grows ever more ambitious. The assassin will soon find himself on a path his most hated enemy has walked before him- a path that leads to a place where someone like Entreri will never be welcome.

Jaraxle has ascended from dark Menzoberranzan with only evil intentions. The malevolent Crystal Shard's influence on him intensifies until even the drow agents he brought with him grow fearful. When Bregan D'aerthe itself begins to turn on him, Jaraxle will be forced to find a savior in the man he's come to enslave.
