Promise of the Witch King: Dungeons & Dragons

Promise of the Witch King is the second book of the Sellswords trilogy, featuring mercenaries Artemis Entreri and Jarlaxle as they become ensnared between the ghost of a power-mad lich and the wrath of an oath-bound knight. This tale is also the fifteenth book in the greater Legend of Drizzt series.

In a distant realm, one of the long-lost books of the late Witch-King has been discovered. Its pages offer unimaginable powers but also carry the ominous threat of death. Despite the deadly curse that claims the lives of those who dare to open it, the book's allure is irresistible, and many vie to possess it.

Artemis Entreri and his companion Jarlaxle find themselves in the demon-haunted wastelands of the frozen north at the behest of their dragon patron. Here, they are caught in a dangerous struggle among formidable powers that would relish their demise. Yet, Entreri and Jarlaxle are no ordinary mercenaries, and the ancient evils and age-old enmities of the wild Bloodstone Lands may finally meet their match.
