    <![CDATA[The <em>New York Times</em> best seller now in mass market paperback!<br/><br/>Captain Deudermont has sailed to the pirate city of Luskan on a mission--a mission to once and for all defeat the true power behind the corrupt city: a wicked lich and his cabal of evil wizards from the Host Tower of the Arcane. But the Host Tower has some tricks up its sleeve, as do the pirate captains who would like to see both sides fail.<br/><br/>This is MUST READ for even the most casual fan of the <strong>Legend of Drizzt</strong>(R)!]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This book made me really sad.  I've been an avid fan of Salvatore's Drizzt books since I read that first print of The Crystal Shard way back when.  I think that the whole Drizzt thing has been played out.  It feels tired.

    <body><![CDATA[This book is pretty good but nothing like many of the other books that feature Drizzt. This story only contains Regis and the elf and really leaves out the other characters for most of the book. The book is slower but then seems to wrap up all it's loose ends quickly. ]]></body>
