Synopsis

An uneasy peace has been established between the dwarves of Mithral Hall and the orcs of the newly established Kingdom of Many-Arrows. The orc tribes united under King Obould, accustomed to constant conflict, begin to turn on each other. The dwarves that rally-around Bruenor are determined to finish the war that nearly destroyed them. So it will take more than swords and axes to bring a lasting peace to the Spine of the World. It may mean that even Drizzt Do'Urden will have to learn to see his world in a very different light.

About the Author

Reviews

Celebrating his 20th year as one of Salvatore's most popular Forgotten Realms characters, dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden whirls into action in this first installment of a new trilogy. As the Year of Wild Magic arrives in the Silver Marches, bloody conflicts rage between Mithral Hall dwarves, Kingdom of Many Arrows orcs, Moonwood elves and Silverymoon wizards. Recently widowed barbarian Wulfgar must wade through the political morass to undertake a life-changing journey, aided by Drizzt's brave wife, Catti-brie. Meanwhile, archeologists are unearthing an ancient city where orcs and dwarves once lived side by side in peace. Drizzt and dwarven king Bruenor Battlehammer wonder if such peace can be achieved again, but half-orc/half-ogre Grguch, King Obould VI of the orcs and angry dark elf Tos'un Armgo won't go down without a fight. Salvatore mixes neatly choreographed battles with philosophical musings from self-styled renegade soul Drizzt, lending a little depth to an otherwise straightforward hack-and-slash adventure.
