Mari Al'Marin and Caledan, the unlikely pair of heroes from The Crypt of the Shadowking, return to match wits against the revived legacy of the Shadowking, which threatens all of Faerun.

Long ago, the shadow magic transformed an ancient wizard into a being of utter evil, the Shadowking. Now legenedary Harper Caledan Caldorien - heir to the shadow magic - has mysteriously vanished.

The Harpers mount a mission to find and destroy... Caledan.

But renegade Harper Mari Al-maren and the mage Morhion embark on a desperate quest to rescue him, and stop Caledan before a Shadowking stalks the Realms once more.
