Surrounded by the dwarves of Mithral Hall, Drizzt Do'Urden has never been more lonely. His bones creaking with age, King Bruenor looks outward once more from peaceful Mithral Hall to the legendary homeland of his ancient ancestors. And as months become years, years becoming decades, all that is left to both is one last quest to gaze just one time upon the glor of lost Gauntlgrym.
But then, strange, dark forces stir in the evil empireof Thay, where the dead walk, and the agents of the enigmatic Shadovar leave the gloom of the risen Empire of Netheril to seek magic and mastery along the Sword Coast. Dark elves under the banner of Jarlaxle's Bregan D'aerthe bleed dry the crumbling city of Luskan, and Drizzt and Bruenor are headed right for them... right for the city of Neverwinter and the ancient secrets that stir beneath it.
