It is the second book in his Legacy Starless Night the Drow series. In Starless NightDrizzt decides to return to Menzoberranzan in an attempt to keep the Starless Night drow from launching another attack on Mithral Hall. He gives Guenhwyvar to Regis and tells him not to tell Starless Night where he went. When Cattie-brie later questions Regis about Drizzt's disappearance, and she makes Regis tell the truth. Regis then gives her Guenhwyvar and she decides to follow Drizzt. She first stops at the city of Silverymoon to meet with Lady Alustriel and to procure supplies. Alustriel, who has feelings for Drizzt, gives Catti-brie horses with magic horseshoes and makes a dwarven attendant, Fret, accompany her to the entrance of the Underdark. Meanwhile, Drizzt meets several elves in the Starless Night near the Underdark, and recalls the surface raiding party that he was a part of as a young drow when he saved a young girl by pretending to kill her. She meets Drizzt, and the elves send a guide, Tarathiel, to help him through the woods. The pair encounters a unicorn in the grove of Montolio and Drizzt is able to pet it. He takes it as a sign that Mielikki, the goddess of rangers, approves of his sacrifice. He makes his way into the Underdark several days later. Catti-brie also arrives at the entrance to the Underdark within two days of Drizzt, and Fret goes back to Silverymoon. Drizzt goes first to Blingdenstone, the Underdark city of the deep gnomes, and stays for several days. Catti-brie also Starless Night a group of deep gnomes Starless Night day later and they show her a shortcut to Starless Night. Catti-brie is near Drizzt at this point, and she witnesses his capture before being taken by Jarlaxle and held prisoner by the mercenary group Bregan D'arthe. Drizzt is taken to Matron Baenre's dungeon and tortured by one of Baenre's daughters, Vendes, the chief torturer. Entreri, somehow surviving the fall in the previous book, is now essentially the prisoner of Jarlaxle. He makes a deal with Cattie-brie in a bid to return to the surface Starless Night escape the evil drow city. He and Catti-brie steal a number of magical items from Bregan D'arthe and the sorcerer Gromph in order to free Drizzt from House Baenre during a ceremony involving all of the matrons of the eight ruling Houses of Menzoberranzan. Drizzt then kills Vendes, and in the daring escape out of the compound fights Dantrag Baenre, who was always considered the second-best to Zaknafein and after Zaknafein's death, Drizzt. Drizzt is victorious, obtaining Dantrag's magical bracers, while Starless Night chooses Dantrag's evil sentient sword Khazid'hea, who wanted to be wielded by Drizzt but could not as Drizzt favors the scimitar. Catti-brie then explodes a section of the tunnel above Starless Night House Baenre compound, destroying most of the chapel dome and interrupting the ceremony of the Matron Mothers. Entreri escapes to the surface, and Catti-brie and Drizzt return to Mithral Hall, on Starless Night way stopping by the resting place of Wulfgar. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

I can find no Starless Night in Mithril Hall The apparent serenity of Drizzt Do'Urden, the Starless Night quiet, will show me nothing of the future designs of the drow. And so I fear that there remains only one place for me to look The Underdark. A place of brooding darkness, where no shadows exist, and where Driz I can find no answers in Mithril Hall A place of brooding darkness, where no shadows exist, and where Drizzt Do'Urden does not wish Starless Night go. The noble dark elf must return Starless Night, though, must go back to find his friends in the gnome city of Blingdenstone, and on to Starless Night, the city of drow. Only then can Drizzt discern what Starless Night might reach out from that dark place to threaten his friends in Mithril Hall. His scimitars slash at monsters too evil to reside under the sunlight of the surface world, while his inner strength wrestles with the tumult of emotions assaulting the noble drow when he looks once more on his dreaded homeland. All the while Drizzt must fend off the weight of guilt he carries for a dear friend lost to him forever. Get A Copy. Paperbackpages. More Details Original Title. Other Editions Friend Reviews.

This book stood out for a different reason The cover is so Starless Night atrocious it irked me every time I looked at it.

In this depiction he looks like an ancient, caucasian human wizard. And is he leering?? Maybe because Cattie-brie looks 12 on this Starless Night instead of And the headband she's wearing? Should be silver. I realize writers often don't get much say in their Starless Night art, but someone should Starless Night caught this, especially since both are main characters in the already-established series. So if you want to read this book - find the later printing with better cover art. View all 5 comments.

Anyone who's been reading Drizzt stories until now probably don't need any reviews to determine whether he keeps reading or not. While I like the Starless Night contemplation moments in this book and feel despair and loss as a result of the first book, there's one thing that feels unrealistic - and that's how powerful they are or how lucky they are. Despite the fact that the heroes are heading into enemy territory, things seem to always go their way. I just feel that a couple of the encounters could have Anyone who's been reading Drizzt stories until now probably don't need any Starless Night to determine whether he keeps reading or not. I just feel Starless Night a couple of the encounters could have been made more realistic and harrowing, rather than having things made easy for them. View all 4 comments. I enjoyed this a degree more than R. Salvatore's prior few Drizzt books, for this reason: it was a significantly more condensed adventure. In previous outings, Drizzt spent one book escaping, Menzobarranzan I'm not looking up the correct spellinganother hanging out in the Underdark, a third establishing himself on the surface world, and the last dealing with a Drow assault on Mithril Hall. Starless Night Starless Nightall four adventures are essentially revisited, in reverse, in compact fashion.

  • American Empire, Literary Culture, and the Postcolonial Lens
    Domestications The FlashPoints series is devoted to books that consider literature beyond strictly national and disciplinary frameworks, and that are distinguished both by their historical grounding and by their theoretical and conceptual strength. Our books engage theory without losing touch with history and work historically without falling into uncritical positivism. FlashPoints aims for a broad audience within the humanities and the social sciences concerned with moments of cultural emergence and transformation. In a Benjaminian mode, FlashPoints is interested in how liter- ature contributes to forming new constellations of culture and history and in how such formations function critically and politically in the present.
