Summary: Life in Menzoberranzan is hard. That’s how it always has been, how it always will be. Natasha long ago accepted that the life of a drow is to kill or be killed. When she survives an attempt on her life that forces her up to the World Above, she finds a new set of challenges—and a new set of allies, maybe even friends.
Sam is forced to make a snap decision about the drow he’s been called in to deal with. Can a half-elf and a drow be allies? Friends? What will happen when he vouches for her?
Steve lost his partner to a drow raid years before. He also trusts Sam almost more than he trusts himself, even when he shows up in town with a drow in tow.
Can a drow, a half-elf, and a human work together to stop a drow plot and save the unknown human thrall caught up in the middle of it all?
