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.
