Centuries ago, in the city of Menzoberranzan—the City of
Spiders, the city of drow—nestled deep in the unmerciful
Underdark of Toril, a young weapon master earned a
reputation far above his station or that of his poor
house.
Zaknafein.
The greater nobles watched him, and one powerful Matron—
Malice—decided to take him as her own. She connived with
rival houses to secure her prize, but it was ultimately
the roguish Jarlaxle who caught him.
Thus sparked the birth of two key moments in
Menzoberranzan: the coupling of a noble and weapon master
that would produce Drizzt Do’Urden…and the friendship
between Zaknafein and Jarlaxle.
R. A. Salvatore reveals the Underdark anew through the
eyes of this unlikely pair—offering a fresh take on the
intrigue and opportunities to be found in the shadows,
and providing a fascinating prelude to the journeys that
have shaped the modern-day Forgotten Realms. There,
Zaknafein and Drizzt are joined together in a series of
trials that parallel those of centuries long past, even
though their paths no longer seem to be aligned. How will
a father, so long constrained by the vicious and
conservative world of the drow, be able to reconcile his
ingrained prejudices with the world and companions of his
enlightened son?
The answer lies in their desire for peace over chaos. And
as long as the scourge of the goddess Lolth’s ambitions
still remain, both are determined to keep her dark will
at bay. But the Spider Queen is powerful, and now demons
have been unleashed on the unwitting denizens of the
surface world. United in purpose—and through their mutual
friendship with Jarlaxle—Zaknafein and Drizzt will need
to put aside their differences in order to keep the ones
they love safe.
