The devastating War of the Spider Queen comes to an endâand gives rise to the greatest horror the Forgotten Realms have ever knownâin this final epic fantasy in the New York Timesâbestselling series.
The Spider Queen lives again, but something is differentâsomething her priestesses can hear in the winds, feel in their spirits, and see with their own eyes. The Demonweb Pits, removed from the Abyss to take its place among the lower planes, is more horrifying than anyone has ever imagined. Teeming with feral spiders bent on ripping each other to piecesâkilling, eating, and killing againâthe blasted landscape of Lolthâs personal hell is still forming.
Quenthel Baenre, with the tattered remnants of her expedition continuing to plot against her, crosses that spider-infested killing ground in hopes of answering the call of her reborn goddess. If she can make it to Lolthâs side, can she even imagine what plans the Queen of the Demonweb Pits has had for her all along?
Danifae Yauntyrrâa former battle-captive of House Melarnâhas followed Quenthel into the Pits, but even the hellish conditions cannot distract her from her true mission: kill Halisstra Melarn. While Danifae contemplates vengenace, the very target of her burning hatred is not far behind, following her own hidden agenda. Halisstra holds the fabled Crescent Blade, a sword she believes will grant her the power to kill Lolth herselfâbut only if they find her before she fully completes her own mysterious resurrection.
