Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author R. A. Salvatore comes a new trilogy and adventure of Drizzt and fantasy’s beloved characters from Dungeons & Dragons’ Forgotten Realms.

After the settling dust of the demon uprising and two years of peace, rumblings from the Menzoberranzan drow have Jarlaxle nervous. Worried his allies may be pulled into a Civil War between the great Houses, he is eager to ensure Zaknafein is armed with weapons befitting his skill, including one in particular: Khazid’hea. A powerful artifact, the sword known as “Cutter” has started wars, corrupted its users, and spilled the blood of many, many people. Nonetheless—or maybe because of that—the rogue Jarlaxle and a small group of friends will go on an expedition looking for the weapon’s last wielder, Doum’wielle, in the freezing north, for she may be the key to unlocking the sword’s potential…and perhaps the key to preventing the bloodshed looming over the Underdark. And as they explore the top of the world, Drizzt is on a journey of his own—both spiritual and physical. He wants to introduce his daughter Brie to Grandmaster Kane and the practices that have been so central to his beliefs. But, having only recently come back from true transcendence, the drow ranger is no longer sure what his beliefs mean anymore. He is on a path to determining the future, not just for his family, but perhaps the entire northlands of the Realms themselves. Two different roads. On one, Jarlaxle and Zaknefein are on a quest to find pieces that could offer salvation to Menzoberranzan. On the other, Drizzt seeks answers that could offer salvation to not just his soul, but all souls. And no matter the outcome of either journey, the Realms will never be the same again.

About R. A. Salvatore

Over three decades ago, R. A. Salvatore created the character of Drizzt Do’Urden, the dark elf who has withstood the test of time to stand today as an icon in the fantasy genre. With his work in the Forgotten Realms, the Crimson Shadow, the DemonWars Saga, and other series, Salvatore has sold more than thirty-five million books worldwide and has appeared on the New York Times bestseller list more than two dozen times. He considers writing to be his personal journey, but still, he’s quite pleased that so many are walking the road beside him! R.A. lives in Massachusetts with his wife, Diane, and their dog, Pikel. He still plays softball for his team, Clan Battlehammer, and enjoys his weekly DemonWars: Reformation RPG and Dungeons & Dragons 5e games.

Goodreads review by Sarah-Grace (Azrael865) on July 17, 2021

R. A. Salvatore does it again. This new chapter in the continuing adventures of Drizzt and his friends is a period of apprehensive waiting. What will come of the revelations about the true history of Menzoberranzan? The foundations of everything the Underdark Drow believe about themselves and Lolth......more

Starlight Enclave Review Starlight Enclave is book 37 in this super long running series and really felt like a return to form for the most part.

Book 1 of another 3 volume story by Salvatore mainly focuses it's A story on Jarlaxle, Entreri, Zaknafein, and Cattibrie's journey to the far most northern point in Toril, on a mission to find the lost half drow female Doum'wielle, in order to prevent a major civil war of the drow in Menzoberranzan......more

Goodreads review by Mike on August 18, 2021

Overall this is a thoroughly enjoyable novel with some caveats. Drizzt's portion in the book is minimal and turns out to be a lengthy series of philosophical/theological/metaphysical conversations with several different characters. I thought these portions interesting if not the most thrilling readi......more

Goodreads review by Ty on August 12, 2021

I've read a lot of Salvatore and am thankful for him and his books. That being said can't say I love how somber he makes Drizzt these days and though he's probably bored of writing about him I'd rather Drizzt have a more prominent role. Also would love my fantasy books not to have real world politic......more
