A shocking discovery sends a young yuan-ti into the tunnels of the Underdark, where she hopes to find more answers to her past
Zaltys is a girl like any other to grow up ranging the jungles of the Southern Lluirwood. She’s a crack shot with a bow and no stranger to the dangers that lurk beneath the deep forest canopy.
 
On an expedition with her family to harvest the forbidden terazul flower—powerful drug that has gathered many a dreamer into its narcotic embrace—Zaltys unearths a truth long buried by the feculent loam of deception.
 
As the veil is lifted on the world Zaltys thought she knew, a pathway to the Underdark promises the answers her family never gave. Venturing forth in search of truth, Zaltys finds betrayal to be a much easier quarry. But it will take more than a lode of lies to quell the venom in her veins.
