Soumrak Erevise Calea zastihne během služby novému pánu – takovému, kterého malicherné hromadění bohatství nezajímá. Koneckonců, k čemu by bylo zlato někomu, kdo obchoduje s dušemi?

Temná strana dne zastihne Erevise Calea tak daleko na cestě pryč od jeho lidskosti, že už se možná jako člověk nikdy nevrátí. Konec konců, být Vyvoleným boha Masky je spíš prokletí než požehnání…

Finding someone to finish a series after five novels from five different authors is no easy task. He's got to be willing to find all the open roads the others have left for him. He's got to do his homework, and quickly. And given the quality of his predecessors' work, he's got to be good . . . Enter Paul Kemp. Whew! Writers like this don't come along every day. -R.A. Salvatore The New York Times best-selling author of The Two Swords THE SPIDER QUEEN LIVES AGAIN But something is different, something her priestesses can hear in the winds, feel in their spirits, and for a select few see with their own eyes. The Demonweb Pits, removed from the Abyss to take its place among the lower planes, is more dangerous, more horrifying than anyone has ever imagined. Teeming with feral spiders bent on ripping each other to pieces- killing, eating, and killing again-the blasted landscape of Lolth's 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 Lolth's side, can she even imagine what plans the Queen of the Demonweb Pits has had for her all along?

But how can she when she's followed Quenthel and Pharaun into the heart of Lolth's reformed domain, a hellish world of demonic spiders bent on eating each other, and anything else stupid enough to get in their way-including the chosen vessel of Lolth herself. While Danifae wonders how she'll ever take vengeance on a woman she left behind on the surface of Faerun, the very target of her burning hatred is close on her heals. Halisstra has come to the Demonweb Pits with a very different agenda. In her hands she holds the fabled Crescent Blade, a sword she believes will grant her the power to kill Lolth herself-but only if they find her before she fully completes her own mysterious RESURRECTION The War of the Spider Queen comes to an end.

Erevis must prove his loyalty to Selgaunt and the Uskevren.
In the 2nd book of the multi-author Sundering series launched by New York Times best-selling author R.A. Salvatore, 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 Faerun. But Vasen knows not 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.
