Description

A world-shaping event revives old favorites, introduces new complications—and moves hero Drizzt Do'Urden into a restored era of the Forgotten Realms

Alone and with his fate hanging in the balance, Drizzt Do'Urden reflects on the lives of the trusted allies who stood by his side throughout his early life—the friends now known as the Companions of the Hall. Unbeknownst to him, the goddess Mielikki has given Bruenor, Catti-brie, Regis, and Wulfgar the chance to return to the world they left behind. Reborn as children but with their memories still intact, the friends must find a way back to one another—and to their lone Companion, Drizzt.

Meanwhile, three seemingly unrelated commoners, growing up across the far reaches of the Forgotten Realms, display incredible feats of power. Against all odds, they hold the fate of Drizzt Do'Urden in their hands—a fate that is far from certain. For in the shadows, a cunning cabal of wizards is watching, intent on hunting the "Chosen" mortals who have been blessed by the gods. These wizards know something mere commoners do not: Long-forgotten gods have begun to stir. Long-lost lands have begun to tremble. The world around them is about to change—and these wizards will do whatever it takes to turn the coming chaos to their advantage.

The Companions is the first book in the Sundering series and the twenty-seventh book in the Legend of Drizzt series.

Reviews

  • Great book but...

    Solid book to be expected from the author. I love these characters and grew up on them. It was great to see that they come back together for a final adventure. I will see though however it is very low for them to use this as an intro to a six book series that doesn’t continue the story whatsoever. Once I found out the second book didn’t include Salvatore’s characters I decided not to read the rest of the series. Poor choice they should’ve commission to him for all six books keeping the characters together to the end. I’m bummed so the book is 5 stars but the series gets one.

    Once again, our favored author fails to disappoint. The only failure here is passing the story on to lesser beings.
  • Another solid story.

    Salvatore has done it again, another solid entry to my personal library already stocked to bursting with his books. Without spoiling I'll say that I was a little skeptical of the direction the book began with- but I was again swept away and was scarcely able to put it down once I began reading.
