Rating: 4.242424242424 (33 reviews)
Author: R. A. Salvatore

Menzoberranzan, the grand city of the Dark Antipode, was founded millennia ago by dark elves after their departure from the outer world. It serves as the home of Drizzt Do'Urden, the hero of "The Valley of the Frozen Wind." Drizzt, a young prince of one of the governing houses, matures in a brutal and ruthless environment where the sole glimmer of hope lies in his swordmaster, Zaknafein, who teaches him not just how, but why to wield a blade. Beneath this harsh reality, Drizzt embodies an honor that seems incomprehensible to the principle‑less society around him. Accusingly driven only by the whims of the Spider Queen, he faces an inevitable dilemma: can he live in a world that denies integrity?

First publish date: 1990
