Finding someone to finish a series after five novels from five different
authors is no easy task. He's got to be willing to find all the open roads the

Kemp. Whew! Writers like this don't come along every day. -R.A. Salvatore The
New York Times best-selling author of The Two Swords THE SPIDER QUEEN LIVES
AGAIN But something is different, something her priestesses can hear in the
winds, feel in their spirits, and for a select few see with their own eyes.
The Demonweb Pits, removed from the Abyss to take its place among the lower
planes, is more dangerous, more horrifying than anyone has ever imagined.
Teeming with feral spiders bent on ripping each other to pieces- killing,
eating, and killing again-the blasted landscape of Lolth's personal hell is
still forming. Quenthel Baenre, with the tattered remnants of her expedition
continuing to plot against her, crosses that spider-infested killing ground in
hopes of answering the call of her reborn goddess. If she can make it to
Lolth's side, can she even imagine what plans the Queen of the Demonweb Pits
has had for her all along? The final 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 bring an end to a devastating
war, and give birth to the greatest horror the Realms has ever known. Danifae
Yauntyrr, former battle-captive of House Melarn, has come too far to stop now.
She has regained her freedom after years of servitude, but has yet to exact
her revenge. Though she has gained much, grown in both power and ambition, and
enjoys the protection of the powerful draegloth Jeggred Baenre, Danifae still
needs to kill Halisstra Melarn. But how can she when she's followed Quenthel
and Pharaun into the heart of Lolth's reformed domain, a hellish world of
demonic spiders bent on eating each other, and anything else stupid enough to
get in their way-including the chosen vessel of Lolth herself. While Danifae
wonders how she'll ever take vengeance on a woman she left behind on the
surface of Faerun, the very target of her burning hatred is close on her
heals. Halisstra has come to the Demonweb Pits with a very different agenda.
In her hands she holds the fabled Crescent Blade, a sword she believes will
grant her the power to kill Lolth herself-but only if they find her before she
fully completes her own mysterious RESURRECTION The War of the Spider Queen
comes to an end.
In the 2nd book of the multi-author Sundering series launched by New York
Times best-selling author R.A. Salvatore, the shadow legacy of Erevis Cale
lives on even as his old foe Mephistopheles seeks to stamp it out at any cost.
Cale's son Vasen--unmoored in time by the god Mask--has thus far been shielded
from the archdevil's dark schemes, alone among the servants of the Lord of
Light who have raised him since birth. Living in a remote abbey nestled among
the Thunder Peaks of Sembia, Vasen is haunted by dreams of his father, trapped
in the frozen hell of Cania. He knows the day will come when he must assume
his role in the divine drama unfolding across Faerun. But Vasen knows not what
that role should be . . . or whether he is ready to take it on. He only knows
what his father tells him in dreams--that he must not fail. Enter Drasek
Riven, a former compatriot of Erevis Cale, now near divine and haunted by
dreams of his own--he too knows the time to act is near. Shar, the great
goddess of darkness, looks to cast her shadow on the world forever. Riven has
glimpsed the cycle of night she hopes to complete, and he knows she must be
stopped. At the crossroads of divine intrigue and mortal destiny, unlikely
heroes unite to thwart the powers of shadow and hell, and the sundering of
worlds is set on its course.
