Artemis Entreri, the infamous assassin, has become bound to the legendary Crystal Shard and finds himself reluctantly allied with the cunning drow mercenary Jarlaxle. Together they are drawn into a deadly web of political intrigue, betrayal, and ancient magic in the sprawling city of Calimport. As the Crystal Shard’s corrupting influence grows, both men must determine whether they will master its power—or become its next victims.
EugeneBookStore Summary
Servant of the Shard begins the Paths of Darkness series and places two of R. A. Salvatore’s most compelling antiheroes—Artemis Entreri and Jarlaxle—at center stage. Combining intrigue, action, and rich character development, the novel broadens the Forgotten Realms beyond Drizzt’s adventures while remaining an essential part of the larger saga.
Collector Notes
This hardcover edition is the first volume of the Paths of Darkness series and is especially desirable among Forgotten Realms collectors. Hardcover editions are considerably less common than the mass market paperbacks and are sought after by readers assembling complete R. A. Salvatore or Drizzt collections.
