Day of the Darkening

"Day of the Darkening" is the 18th issue of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons comics series set in the Forgotten Realms and published by DC Comics.

Synopsis
The half-elf, Kyriani, the only one with the necessary heritage to stop a coming evil, has been split into her two halves. The timid Cybriana and the sinister Drow, Kilili. If she is to save the Realms from a horrible fate she'll have to be merged back together once more. The results are not what anyone expected. Is this new form the half-elf carries a force for good or an agent of evil?
