The saga of Drizzt's friend, Wulfgar, continues in this book. It mainly focused on Wulfgar and a young woman named Meralda.
Wulfgar is still struggling with his demons and ends up in Luskan. He's basically a bouncer for an inn and has become a violent drunk. He's picked up the attention of some pretty shady characters in town, and that's going to upset his plans to stay in a drunken stupor.
In a nearby fiefdom, Meralda has caught the eye of the Lord Feringal. She's madly in love with a local boy, Jaka. When she's faced with the choice between the two men, she has to choose duty over love. Her mother's life is on the line. But Wulfgar gets caught up in the middle of her mess.
At the end, Wulfgar has a couple new ladies (one is older than the other) coming with him to Waterdeep. They're looking to find the Sea Sprite and track down something important that's been taken from Wulfgar.
While this book focused on Wulfgar, I still liked it. I was curious how Meralda was going to become relevant to the story, but I never doubted that she would. I'm looking forward to the third and final book in the trilogy, Sea of Swords. Good Book!
