Sacrifice of the Widow

A new chapter in the War of the Spider Queen saga begins in this spin-off series featuring priestess Halisstra Melarn Goddesses vie for the souls of people. Halisstra Melarn-former companion of Quenthel Baenre and convert to the cause of the goddess Eilistraee-was sent to the deepest depths of the Outer Planes to kill the demon goddess she once worshiped: Lolth, the Queen of the Demonweb Pits, the Spider Queen. Instead, Halisstra was transformed into a hideous creature bent to the vengeful will of her former mistress. Lolth not only survived her Silence but evolved into something greater than she was before-something that no longer needs to share the domain she calls her own. Could it be that the War of the Spider Queen has only now just begun?
