The Sellswords trilogy steps away from Drizzt to follow two of the series’ most popular supporting characters. Artemis Entreri, the cold-blooded assassin, and Jarlaxle, the flamboyant drow mercenary, form an uneasy partnership as they navigate dangerous schemes and powerful enemies.

Servant of the Shard picks up the Crystal Shard plotline from Drizzt’s perspective, while Promise of the Witch King and Road of the Patriarch take the pair into new territory. The dynamic between the calculating Entreri and the unpredictable Jarlaxle gives these books a different energy from the main Drizzt novels, and both characters get significant development.
