My name's Cesar Hawke. I'm a witch working for a division of the government you've never heard about. The world's not what everyone thinks it is - unless you think that our world's a pawn in a game of chess between Heaven and Hell, and riddled with as much magic and wonder as it is with evil. In that case, the world is exactly what you think. My place of employment - the Office of Preternatural Affairs - takes a modern approach to an ages-old problem.

My name is Mercedes Athena Thompson Hauptman, and I am a car mechanic. And a coyote shape-shifter. And the mate of the Alpha of the Columbia Basin werewolf pack. Even so, none of that would have gotten me into trouble if, a few months ago, I hadn’t stood upon a bridge and taken responsibility for the safety of the citizens who live in our territory. It seemed like the thing to do at the time. It should have only involved hunting down killer goblins, zombie goats, and an occasional troll. Instead, our home was viewed as neutral ground.

Drizzt and Catti-brie have been away from Mithral Hall for six long years, but the pain of a lost companion still weighs heavily on their strong shoulders.

Then a mysterious castaway on an uncharted island sends them back to the very source of their pain, and into the clutches of a demon with vengeance on his mind.

Join the world's most famous drow elf in the penultimate chapter of the Legend of Drizzt series!

Not as good as the rest
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
A waste of time.
If you are following a series you hope each book advances the series forward, this one did not. There is just no need for it to exist.
What could SM Reine have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
The rest of the decent series is from the point of Elise, This is from the Point of James. The writer had a winning formula and should have staid with it.
Could you see Defying Fate being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
The series, yes, The book, no
