The Arcane Brotherhood has long held the city of Luskan in their power, but when corruption eats away at their ranks, Captain Deudermont comes to the rescue of a city that has become a safe haven for the Sword Coast's most dangerous pirates. But rescuing a city from itself may not be as easy as Deudermont thinks, and when Drizzt can't talk him out of it, he'll be forced to help.
Drizzt is back in action again, and bringing more changes to the Forgotten Realms setting. This all new hardcover adventure will keep Drizzt fans guessing the whole way, with edge-of-your-seat action and plot twists that even the most casual reader of the Forgotten Realms novel line can't afford to miss
Synopsis
Drawn into a battle against nefarious pirates, Drizzt questions if 'the greater good' is worth the cost of innocent lives A shadowy organization of mages and pirates known as the Arcane Brotherhood has long held the city of Luskan in their power, but corruption now eats away at their ranks. Seeing this as an opportunity to finally defeat their leader, Arklem Greeth, legendary pirate hunter Captain Deudermont hatches a plot that will free the city of the Brotherhood's iron grip.
Elsewhere, Drizzt and Regis depart for Icewind Dale, where they suspect Wulfgar--having returned his adopted daughter to her biological mother--now lives in isolation. When they cross paths with Captain Deudermont on their journey, the pirate hunter reveals his plans and recruits the duo to fight against the Arcane Brotherhood. But rescuing Luskan from itself proves more difficult--and more violent--than anyone anticipated, leaving all to question if they will destroy the city before they can actually save it.
The Pirate King is the second book in the Transitions trilogy and the eighteenth installment in the Legend of Drizzt series.
