Gauntlgrym (novel)

Gauntlgrym will be the latest book in the Legend of Drizzt saga by R.A. Salvatore.

It will bring together two popular Forgotten Realms franchises: Drizzt Do'Urden & the Neverwinter Nights games.

A mock-up of the artwork from the front cover of the book has been shown online and was taken from Todd Lockwood's art done for Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone so it it is unknown if this is what the actual cover will look like.

It is due for release on the 5th of October 2010.

The story: When one of his(Drizzt) oldest friends, Bruenor Battlehammer, chooses to spend his final days searching for the fabled dwarf kingdom of Gauntlgrym, Drizzt readily agrees. But before Drizzt and Bruenor even get close to finding the lost city, the dwarf assassin Athrogate, black-widow elf Dahlia, and Drizzt’s old nemesis Jarlaxle stumble upon it first. In their search for riches and magic, the three treasure hunters inadvertently set into motion a catastrophe that could spell disaster for the unsuspecting people of the city of Neverwinter—a catastrophe big enough to set even the mercenary Jarlaxle into risking his own coin and skin to stop it. Unfortunately, the more they uncover about the secret of Gauntlgrym, the more it looks like they can’t stop the impending disaster on their own. They’ll need help, and from the last people they ever thought to fight alongside again: Drizzt and Bruenor.
