Downshadow (novel)

Downshadow by Erik Scott de Bie is the third novel in the Waterdeep series. It is also the first novel in the Shadowbane series. "A dangerous, subterranean labyrinth haunted by outlaws and monsters. The upper reaches of the legendary Undermountain.  The only law is that of the sword in  Downshadow.

Ever wondered what it's really like to be a paladin? A holy knight, struggling to live in a very unholy city? A city crowded with tempting women who take a great interest in you, and old enemies increasingly thirsty for your doom?

Downshadow shows you, in a tale packed with battles, betrayals, sticky situations, lurking foes... and the deadly rooms and passages of Waterdeep's most dangerous neighborhood of all: Downshadow, beneath the cobbles and cellars and the sewers that underlie them. This is one wild ride. I highly recommend it, have read it several times through, and look forward to re-reading it many times more!

—Ed Greenwood"

Summary
In brief, the novel followed the adventures of the vigilante, Shadowbane, as he battled evil forces not only in the area below the city known as Downshadow, but also in the city of Waterdeep itself. It mainly focused on his protecting of the mysterious girl Myrin from the clutches of the dwarf mercenary known as Rath, the shape-changer, Fayne, and their even more mysterious patron, Lilton.
