Summary

In the 3rd book of the #4 New York Timesbest-selling Neverwinter Saga, Drizzt draws his swords once more to aid his friends. His lover, Dahlia Sin'felle, can speak of nothing but the moment she will face the Netherese lord Herzgo Alegni once again. Drizzt has already followed a trail of vengeance beside Dahlia. Can he justify one more battle to settle a grudge he does not understand? Artemis Entreri too seeks vengeance. He offers to aid Dahlia in her mission to destroy Alegni. But Charon's Claw, Alegni's sentient sword, dominates Entreri's movements-if not his mind. And then there's the way Entreri looks at Dahlia. Can Drizzt trust his old foe? Praise for the Neverwinter Saga: "Emotional, respectful of its characters, intelligently written and structured, and finally summons a sense of nostalgic sorrow throughout"Fantasy Book Review on Gauntlgrym, Neverwinter Saga Book I "Full of excitement. Salvatore has mastered the art of showing a beautiful fight scene, and he is at the top of his game in this one. We meet many characters with many different fighting styles, and Salvatore does a great job of distinguishing between them. He manages to take these scenes from so much more than just a fight scene, to an integral part of the story."-The SFF Hub on Gauntlgrym, Neverwinter Saga Book I "A quick read with some very satisfying fight scenes. It's also deeply layered with emotional atmosphere" -California Literary Review on Gauntlgrym, Neverwinter Saga Book I

Author Biography

R.A. Salvatore was born in Massachusetts in 1959. He is the New York Times–bestselling author of more than forty novels, including the popular Forgotten Realms series, The Legend of Drizzt. His love affair with fantasy, and with literature in general, began during his sophomore year of college when he was given a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings as a Christmas gift. He promptly changed his major from computer science to journalism. He began writing seriously in 1982, penning the manuscript that would become Echoes of the Fourth Magic.

His first published novel was The Crystal Shard from TSR in 1988, and his novel The Silent Bladewon the Origins Award. He is still best known as the creator of dark elf Drizzt Do’Urden, one of fantasy’s most beloved characters.
