Maymun was robbed by a masked magician and left for dead by the demon. But the boy refuses to give up the magic that is rightfully his. Convinced that Drizzt Do'Urden holds the key to restoring the Stone of Tymora, he follows the dark elf across the Calim Desert to the docks of Calimport. There, Captain Deudermont offers the boy refuge on his ship, not realizing the price he will have to pay for his loyalty. While storms play with the "Sea Fairy" and pirates fire at her deck, a mysterious force gathers on the Moonshae Islands, threatening to crash Deudermont's ship off its shores.
