Description: The second adventure in the New York Times-bestselling fantasy trilogy from the legendary million-selling author and creator of Drizzt DoUrden. Luthien Bedwyr vowed to free his beleaguered land of Eriador from its demonic ruler, Wizard-King Greensparrow. Cloaked in a scarlet cape that renders him invisible and wielding a magical sword, Luthien is known to Eriadors oppressed as the Crimson Shadow. With the rallying support of enslaved humans, defiant peasants, and Fairborn elves, he has forged a path for liberation--raid by insurgent raid. Even with a mighty battle-ready band of stalwart comrades--including halfling thief Oliver deBurrows; fierce elf warrior Katerin OHale; and the ancient and mysterious mage, BrindAmour--the rebels are fighting an uphill battle against the vile despots escalating and bloodthirsty army of cyclopean soldiers. Then, Greensparrow makes an unexpected bid for peace. But why would a wizard so cunning and so evil suddenly concede? Though Eriadors slaves see the compromise as cause for celebration, Luthien and BrindAmour recognize it as a calculated trap. The Crimson Shadow knows in his heart that the war for freedom has only just begun. Return to a rousing, magical quest in book two of a trilogy hailed by Terry Brooks as a "fine adventure filled with memorable characters and compelling action."
