Overview
A new mass market edition of the New York Times best-selling sword and sorcery classic, The Legacy is Drizzt at his scimitar-wielding best!Having found a measure of peace among the dwarves in the reclaimed Mithral Hall, Drizzt begins to know contentment for perhaps the first time in his tumultuous life. But for a dark elf renegade from a city ruled by priestesses of a demon goddess, no peace can long last. It is Lolth herself, the dreaded Queen of the Demonweb Pits, who musters her followers to pour up from the black depths of the Underdark to reclaim for their goddess the one soul that had managed to elude her. The soul of Drizzt Do'Urden.
A prelude to an upcoming trilogy set after the Icewind Dale Trilogy, The Legacy ties together those series and the Dark Elf Trilogy. The beleagured dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden thinks he has all his problems solved . . . until the Spider Queen, Lloth, vows to poison his life with vengeance.
Synopsis
Because of the friends I have known, the honorable people I have met, I know I am no solitary hero of unique causes. I know that when I die, that which is important will live on. This is my legacy; by the grace of the gods, I am not alone.
–Drizzt Do’Urden
Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewThe legendary adventures of the dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden continue in the seventh volume of Wizards of the Coast's lovingly produced hardcover reissue of R. A. Salvatore's classic fantasy saga -- each edition with stunning new cover art by artist extraordinaire Todd Lockwood.
In The Legacy, the beleaguered dark elf is, unbelievably, experiencing contentment. His longtime friend, the legendary dwarf Bruenor Battlehammer, has reclaimed his throne in Mithral Hall; Bruenor's adopted human daughter, Catti-brie, is about to wed the barbarian Wulfga; and even the wayward halfling Regis has returned for the wedding. With all of Drizzt's companions back together, life is good -- until the seemingly unstoppable assassin Artemis Entreri reappears, bent on defeating Drizzt once and for all. And when dark elves are found in the tunnels beneath Mithral Hall, the upcoming wedding may turn into a mass funeral…
Although all of Salvatore's Drizzt Do'Urden adventures can be read as stand-alone novels, Wizards of the Coast has put the saga in its proper (and highly recommended) chronological order. Fans of adventure fantasy who have yet to experience Salvatore's dark elf -- comparable to classic swashbuckling heroes like Michael Moorcock's Elric and Edgar Rice Burroughs's John Carter -- should begin with the first book in the Legend of Drizzt, Homeland, and continue from there. Longtime followers of Salvatore have known for decades that his Drizzt Do'Urden novels are pure adventure fantasy gold. This timeless saga has it all: great characters, nonstop action, and universal themes that readers of any age can relate to -- honor, dedication, forgiveness, and above all, the importance of friendship.
