Eye of Justice (novel)

Eye of Justice is the third novel in the Shadowbane series by Erik Scott de Bie, which follows the adventures of Kalen Dren and Myrin Darkdance.
==Summary==
In Hammer of 1470 DR, Levia Shadewalker stands before the council of the Eye of Justice and proposes a search for the sword Vindicator, lost to the council since its founder Gedrin Shadowbane abondoned their order. As she is denied, the council is interrupted by a fifteen years old Kalen Dren, who returns to Levia news of Gedrin’s death, as well as his ring, and offers to recover the sword. Once out of earshot of the council, he produces the sword for Levia by magical means.
In Flamerule of 1480 DR, after restoring the broken Vindicator, Kalen heads to Westgate in search of Rhett Hawkwinter, only to find another, darker Shadowbane wielding the blade of the Threefold God. Initially presuming Rhett dead, and the new Shadowbane an imposter, he soon learns that not one, but two Shadowbanes are roaming the city.
While in Westgate, Myrin discovers her ancestral home, Darkdance Manor, and meets Ilira Nathalan, who had been a student of her father's. Myrin follows Ilira around Westgate and investigates the Lair of the Night Masters. She soon breaks with Kalen in protest against his unwillingness to accept her wishes to continue this path, relying instead, going forward, on the support of Ilira.Erik Scott de Bie (September 2012).

Fayne is intent on avenging her mother Cythara, who was killed by Ilira, and they fight intensely, until Fayne, ready to strike a killing blow, is tricked by an illusion of Ilira’s and defeated.
Myrin is ambushed by the Sharran monk Hessar, trapped in a sphere of antimagic, but in a moment of desperation channels the raw magic of her Spellscar and rids him of his darkness.
Kalen confronts the other two Shadowbanes, and guesses correctly that the one brandishing Tyr’s mark, called Mercy, is Rhett. Chastised and challenged by Mercy, they both refuse to kill each other, although their gods demand it. Mercy flees with Sithe’s black axe, Kalens’ only other weapon after losing the fight for control of Vindicator. The dark Shadowbane, called Vengeance, is revealed to be his old apprentice Vaelis.
Losing Vindicator and an arm in the confrontation, Vaelis slinks away in the dark and is found, bleeding out at shrine to the Reaver in the entrace to Kirenkirsalai’s lair, by the now free Hessar. However, as Hessar turns away from Vaelis, he is paralyzed by Kirenkirsalai and offered as a first meal to Kire’s “new son”, watching from paralysis as Vaelis is bitten and turned into a vampire spawn.
Fayne attempts to steal an item from Lord Darkwell, but her illusions do not hold up, and she is magically compelled to slit her own throat, dying in front of her father as a punishment for her betrayals. However she is then immediately revived again by Lord Darkwell, as he explains that he is not done with her yet.
As Myrin reunites with Ilira over the body of Brace, Ilira performs a dark ritual that absorbs Brace’s body into her, and she, black-eyed, vows to kill Kalen Dren.
Meanwhile, as the sun starts to rise over Westgate, Levia comes upon the limp and lifeless body of Kalen, and after many attemps at waking him, he admits to her, with tears in his eyes, that he was always wrong.
