Publisher Description
The son of shadow warrior Erevis Cale prepares to seek out his destiny in this compelling second installment of the Sundering series
The shadow legacy of Erevis Cale lives on even as his old foe Mephistopheles seeks to stamp it out at any cost. Cale’s son, Vasen—unmoored in time by the god Mask—has thus far been shielded from the archdevil’s dark schemes, alone among the servants of the Lord of Light who have raised him since birth.
Living in a remote abbey nestled among the Thunder Peaks of Sembia, Vasen is haunted by dreams of his father, trapped in the frozen hell of Cania. He knows the day will come when he must assume his role in the divine drama unfolding across Faerûn. But Vasen does not know what that role should be or whether he is ready to take it on. He only knows what his father tells him in dreams—that he must not fail.
Enter Drasek Riven, a former compatriot of Erevis Cale, now near divine and haunted by dreams of his own. He, too, knows the time to act is near. Shar, the great goddess of darkness, looks to cast her shadow on the world forever. Riven has glimpsed the cycle of night she hopes to complete, and he knows she must be stopped.
At the crossroads of divine intrigue and mortal destiny, unlikely heroes unite to thwart the powers of shadow and hell, and the sundering of worlds is set on its course.
Customer Reviews
Bit of a letdown
After reading the first book of the series I was looking forward to reading more about the restored companions, but instead found a whole new cast of characters. Well the story was good and kept me interested, was rather upset they called this part of a series and after reading the intros to the next two books of the series decided not to get anymore since they have nothing to do with Drizzt and the companions. Seems kind of like a cheap way for the Forgotten Realms folks to get us readers to pick up on some new authors. Disappointed in RA Salvatore as well for signing on to this and leading us astray.
