Description
When Kalen Dren and Myrin Darkdance investigate a friend's disappearance in Westgate, they find that all is not as it seems
At long last Kalen “Shadowbane” Dren has given up a life of crime to join Myrin on a journey to the city of Westgate. But although Kalen is leaving his vigilante past behind, his high-stakes adventures are far from over—and there are enemies who still yearn to see him fall. Moreover, rumor has it that others have adopted his guise and now deal with violence on their own terms.
The two adventurers leave Luskan for Westgate in search of Kalen's former apprentice, who they fear is dead. As the pair scours the city, seeking answers to Kalen's disappearance and to their own destinies, they find that the rumors about the vigilantes are true. But who are these wannabe "Shadowbanes" who wield the vaunted sword Vindicator? Myrin and Kalen have no idea that a game is being played in which they are only pawns.

Advance Praise
Praise for Downshadow, by Erik Scott de Bie
"Erik Scott de Bie meets the challenge of writing a compelling story while working within the constraints of a media tie-in novel. . . . De Bie demonstrates a deep knowledge of the Forgotten Realms setting and infuses the narrative with bits of history and mythology where necessary. Reading Downshadow, I very much felt that the story was taking place in a larger world that had a rich history. . . .The exposition is presented narratively and only when necessary. The story is compelling and the outcome open enough to compel a reader to desire more. Shadowbane himself is a bit of a cipher, but his character does grow as the story progresses. He starts as a generic superhero, but by the end of the book readers are beginning to see the personality behind the mask. I am eager to see the character develop further. Many likable characters die in the story and there is a cameo or two from other Forgotten Realms tales that provide nice Easter Eggs."--Cinerati
