The Ghost King: Dungeons & Dragons

The Ghost King: Dungeons & Dragons by R.A. Salvatore delivers a gripping conclusion to the Transitions trilogy as Drizzt Do'Urden comes face-to-face with a power that will change Faerûn forever.

To save Catti-brie, Drizzt must ally with a past foe and confront a power that threatens to alter Faerûn irrevocably. With the collapse of Mystra's Weave and the onslaught of the Spellplague, all of Faerûn is thrust into chaos. As magic becomes more dangerous and unreliable, an even greater menace emerges: the Ghost King, an entity boasting the combined might of a dragon, a mind flayer, and the Crenshinibon—the demonic crystal shard believed to be destroyed years ago.

When Jarlaxle, a drow mercenary, is targeted by the Ghost King, he realises his survival depends on finding the Deneir priest, Cadderly Bonaduce. Yet, to locate Cadderly, Jarlaxle must travel to the cathedral in Spirit Soaring, the very place from which he is banned. To gain access, he needs to recruit his old enemy, Drizzt Do'Urden, to his cause.

When Catti-brie is affected by an errant strand of the Weave, Jarlaxle convinces Drizzt and Bruenor that their challenges are shared. Together, they journey to Spirit Soaring, where the priests and mages of Deneir, led by Cadderly, scramble to prepare against the Ghost King. But with many losing faith and time slipping away, the impending battle seems more daunting than ever.

The Ghost King is the third and final book in the Transitions trilogy and the twenty-second instalment in the Legend of Drizzt series.
