R. A Salvatore

Luthien Bedwyr, now the Crimson Shadow, has defeated the evil Duke of Montfort, restoring the fortress city to its true name, Caer MacDonald, but the larger battle still lies ahead, and Luthien must fight on to liberate Eriador from the demonic rule of Wizard-King Greensparrow.

Drizzt, a noble dark elf, must go to the Underdark to find his friends in a gnome city. He finds allies where he least expects them, meets monsters too evil to live in the sunlight, and wrestles with the guilt he carries for a dear friend lost to him forever.
