Drizzt Do’Urden, a drow exiled from his underground home, has always known what it means to be alone. After finding acceptance and friendship among surface dwellers, he now faces the devastating loss of those closest to him. Consumed by grief and rage, Drizzt transforms into the Hunter, a merciless warrior dedicated to annihilating the orc army led by King Obould Many-Arrows. His sole focus is on killing, driven by the belief that everything he loves has been destroyed. /n/n However, in the midst of his relentless campaign, Drizzt encounters a pair of elves and their pegasi, who offer aid and a glimmer of hope. This unexpected encounter forces Drizzt to reconsider his path and decide whether to continue his vengeful journey or embrace a new purpose. The Lone Drow is the second book in The Hunter’s Blades trilogy and the eighteenth installment in the Legend of Drizzt series.
