Join barbarian hero Wulfgar on another action-packed adventure in the second book of the Paths of Darkness trilogy and the twelfth book in the greater Legend of Drizzt.

Spending just one day in the torture chambers of the Abyss would be enough to break even the heartiest soul. Wulfgar of Icewind Dale was there for six miserable years. Though Wulfgar has since been freed, he is still haunted by the memories of the pain he endured at the hands of his captor Errtu. Hoping to distance himself from his past, Wulfgar flees to the faraway port city of Luskan, where he isolates from his friends and develops an unhealthy penchant for booze.

For Wulfgar, things will get worse before they get better. Fired from his gig at a tavern, robbed of his warhammer, and accused of murder, he goes on the run with Morik the Rogue—beginning a dangerous, combat-filled journey toward redemption.

Follow the adventures of Drizzt and the Companions in the electrifying Paths of Darkness trilogy:
THE SILENT BLADE • THE SPINE OF THE WORLD • SEA OF SWORDS
