From New York Times bestselling author R. A. Salvatore comes the follow-up to Starlight Enclave and thrilling second novel in his newest trilogy, The Way of the Drow, expanding the Forgotten Realms through the adventures of Drizzt, Catti-brie, Jarlaxle, Artemis Entreri, and Zaknefein…and a society of drow unlike one any elf from Menzoberranzan could possibly imagine.

There’s a lot that Jarlaxle doesn’t know: is he the lone survivor of the raid on the slaad fortress, can he even find a way to get out, and beyond his immediate predicament, could he possibly escape the ice caverns and get help for his friends?

However, what Jarlaxle does know is that if he plans to come back—if Catti-brie, Entreri, and Zaknafein are to have any hope of surviving—he’s going to have to bring back far more firepower. An army of aevendrow seems unlikely, so he must go home and pull together a team with great skill and unimaginable power.

But how will he get home? Will such a collection of warriors and mages come to his aid? And even if he manages all that, will it be enough? For Jarlaxle has seen the slaadi’s power and their god in a most personal and terrifying way.

Trapped in the ice while the world is on fire, Jarlaxle is in a race against time—and burdened with a magical secret—to save a peaceful city and his companions.

And he’s running out of tricks in his bag of holding…

R. A. Salvatore

R. A. Salvatore

In a genre known for sprawling maps and ancient prophecies, R. A. Salvatore carved his legacy not just through epic battles, but by giving his heroes a soul.

Long before fantasy became mainstream, Salvatore introduced readers to Drizzt Do’Urden—a dark elf torn between the violent culture he was born into and the moral code he chose to follow. This inner struggle, threaded through fast-paced combat and sweeping world-building, struck a nerve. Drizzt wasn’t just another sword-wielding adventurer; he was a philosophical outsider in a genre that rarely stopped to ask why.

Raised in Massachusetts, Salvatore didn’t grow up dreaming of dragons—his love of storytelling bloomed later, sparked by a battered copy of The Lord of the Rings during a snowstorm. From there, he wrote with the urgency of someone discovering a new language. His early jobs, from warehouse worker to bouncer, taught him about grit and consequence, lessons that quietly shape his fiction. You can feel it in every clash of blades and moment of quiet doubt.

Though best known for his work in the Forgotten Realms, Salvatore has built original worlds as well—like the DemonWars Saga, where magic and mortality are deeply entwined. His stories explore what it means to choose your path, even when the world expects you to follow another. That moral complexity, paired with some of the most kinetic fight scenes in modern fantasy, has earned him a fiercely loyal readership.

He once said, “It’s not the sword, it’s the hand that wields it.” That philosophy echoes through all his work—reminding readers that even in a world of monsters and magic, the hardest battles are often internal.
