While Pharaun, Quenthel, Jeggred, Danifae, and Valas search for a way into the burning infinity of the Abyss itself -- all the while selling each other cheap, and watching for knives in their backs -- Halisstra and Ryld discover a world where life has value, and the shadows are free of assassins. But in an effort to survive, will they lose everything it means to be a dark elf? The simple act of asking that question could bring the entire drow race to the brink of Extinction. The War of the Spider Queen gets personal. The fourth novel in an epic six-part series from the fertile imaginations of R.A. Salvatore, and a select group of the newest, most exciting authors in the genre. Join them as they tear the roof off the limitless Underdark, and bring the drow to their knees.
