Publisher's summary

At long last, New York Times best-selling author R. A. Salvatore returns with one of fantasy's most beloved and enduring icons, the dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden, in an all-new trilogy full of swordplay, danger, and imaginative thrills.

Centuries ago, in the city of Menzoberranzan, the City of Spiders, the City of Drow, nestled deep in the unmerciful Underdark of Toril, a young weapon master earned a reputation far above his station or that of his poor house.

Zaknafein.

The greater nobles watched him, and one powerful Matron - Malice - decided to take him as her own. She connived with rival houses to secure her prize, but it was ultimately the roguish Jarlaxle who caught him.

Thus sparked the birth of two key moments in Menzoberranzan: the coupling of a noble and weapon master that would produce Drizzt Do’Urden...and the friendship between Zaknafein and Jarlaxle.

R. A. Salvatore reveals the Underdark anew through the eyes of of this unlikely pair - offering a fresh take on the intrigue and opportunities to be found in the shadows, and providing a fascinating prelude to the journeys that have shaped the modern-day Forgotten Realms. There, a Zaknafein and Drizzt are joined together in a series of trials that parallel those of centuries long past, even though their paths no longer seem to be aligned.

How will a father, so long constrained by the vicious and conservative world of the drow, be able to reconcile his ingrained prejudices with the world and companions of his enlightened son?

The answer lies in their desire for peace over chaos. And as long as the scourge of the goddess Lolth’s ambitions still remain, both are determined to keep her dark will at bay. But the spider queen is powerful, and now demons have been unleashed on the unwitting denizens of the surface world. United in purpose - and through their mutual friendship with Jarlaxle - Zaknefein and Drizzt will need to put aside their differences in order to keep the ones they love safe.

more of the same.

as a fan of salvatore who has read or listened to almost all his books I enjoyed and was disappointed by this one. after all these years his writing seems the same. not better, not worse. same descriptions and predictability. same formula and plot. I do like his writing and books but there are certainly ti.es I find myself hoping for a chapter or plot line to end. i believe him to be a better writer than this. i did however like learning about the past before drizzt and will be purchasing the next book. if you like his books, you will like this one. if you are tired of them. this wont help mich, but I would read it anyway.

Is still dazzling us with Drizzt. . .

When I didn't think that R.A. Salvatore could take Drizzt Do'Urden & his allies' story any further! He had me on the edge of my seat several times trying to guess where this story was going to go. It will be a long year of waiting till the next book in the series is released.

Great story!

I have been reading the Drizzt series of novels since I was a teen and slowly collecting the audiobooks over the past couple years. As a fan of the character Jarlaxle I was very happy with this book and the narrator does a wonderful job bringing the story to life for me.

Zak deserved better than this.

What else needs to be said? How Zak is written here is entirely contrary to his story from the very first book he was mentioned. I guess the writer had to sacrifice something to get his good boy points.

Huge Let Down Compared to other Drizzt Books

The story and plot just was not there...While I couldn't wait for the return of Zaknefene and find out so much how and why...That was not there.....I was left wondering what the book was really about...There was a little bit of this and a Little bit of that throughout the book...There could of and should of been so much more,,,,,,I will still buy and read more in hopes of something better...Still a huge fan of Drizzt Novels.
