Rite of Blood

Coming between Daughter of the Drow and Tangled Webs, this novella catches up with Liriel Baenre, the drow wizard who fled the Underdark and House Baenre, and Fyodor, the Rashemi berserker who swore to see her home safely. Collected in the anthology Realms of the Underdark, it finds the pair still hunted by kin who won't let a runaway go so easily, on a road where every hard-won alliance carries a cost paid in blood.
