Servant of the Shard: Dungeons & Dragons: Book 1 of the Sellswords Trilogy (Legend of Drizzt)

The much-awaited story of master assassin Artemis Entreri, and the first installment of the Sellswords trilogy.

Surrounded by dark elves, Artemis Entreri tightens his grip on the streets of Calimport. While he urges caution, his sponsor grows ever more ambitious. The assassin will soon find himself on a path his most hated enemy has walked before him--a path that leads to a place where someone like Entreri would never be welcome.

Drow leader Jarlaxle has ascended from dark Menzoberranzan with only civil intentions. The malevolent Crystal Shard's influence on him intensifies until even the drow agents he brought with him grow fearful. When his own company begins to turn on him, Jarlaxle will be forced to find a savior in the man he's come to enslave.

Servant of the Shard is the first book in the Sellswords trilogy and the fourteenth book in the Legend of Drizzt series.
