Description

The saga of dark elf Drizzt Do’Urden has become a fixture in the fantasy genre, with a string of New York Times best-selling novels going back to 1988. *Maestro* is the follow-up to *Archmage* , and continues the story of Drizzt’s perilous homecoming. Drizzt is going home. But not to Mithral Hall. Not to Icewind Dale. He’s going to Menzoberranzan. Something terrible-immense-unspeakable, has come to the City of Spiders, leaving death and destruction in its wake. Additionally, the damage of the Darkening, of war, and of a demon-ravaged Underdark sends cracks out across the North, causing irreparable damage. At the same time, the primordial of Gauntlgrym stirs, sending Cattie-brie and Gromph to the ruins of the Host Tower of the Arcane in Luskan, seeking the only power that can keep the beast in check. Jarlaxle holds the strings for them all, orchestrating a masterpiece of manipulation that brings old enemies together, and tears old friends apart. But even the wily and resourceful Jarlaxle may not realize just how narrow a path he walks. The City of Spiders might already have fallen to the demons and their wicked prince, and what’s to say the demons will stop there? *Maestro* is the sequel to *Archmage* , and the exciting 2nd book in the Homecoming trilogy.
