R. A. Salvatore

One day, while toiling away at his day job, R.A. Salvatore received a phone call. It was his editor, telling him she needed a new sidekick for his debut Forgotten Realms novel The Crystal Shard, and, since she was heading into a meeting, needed it immediately. On a whim, he thought up a male dark-elf ranger by the name of Drizzt do'Urden. When she asked if he could spell that, he said “not a chance.” He soon learned, and through more than twenty adventurous novels, has developed Drizzt and his companions into fantasy icons. The newest Drizzt adventure, The Companion's Codex, Volume Two: Rise of the King, pits our heroes against the deadly orc kingdom of Many-Arrows.

R.A. Salavatore’s love for fantasy began with the gift of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien when Salvatore was a sophomore in college. It was this book that caused him to change his major from computer science to journalism. Since then, Bob has created numerous worlds and written multiple series in more than 40 books. Join us for the international launch event for Charon’s Claw, the third entry into the Neverwinter Saga, which brings Drizzt and Dahlia together in this final installment, as Drizzt aids Dhalia in her mission to destroy Alegni.

RA Salvatore diskuterar Neverwinter, The Neverwinter Saga Book II.

With a fascinating cast of new secondary characters, Neverwinter launches on October 4 and takes the dual-scimitar wielding dark elf Drizzt and brings him to an area of the Realms he’s never adventured in – Neverwinter. With the last of his trusted companions having fallen, Drizzt is alone—and free—for the first time in almost a hundred years. Forced to see the dark deeds of common men, Drizzt begins to find himself on the wrong side of the law in an effort to protect those the law has failed. (lampbane)… (mer)

R.A. Salvatore signerar Gauntlgrym.

R.A. Salvatore is back with another intriguing book filled with mystical lore, ancient runes and adventurous characters. Drizzt joins Bruenor on his quest for the fabled dwarven kingdom of Gauntlgrym: ruins said to be rich with ancient treasure and arcane lore. But before they even get close, another drow and dwarf pair stumbles across it first: Jarlaxle and Athrogate. In their search for treasure and magic, Jarlaxle and Athrogate inadvertently set into motion a catastrophe that could spell disaster for the unsuspecting people of the city of Neverwinter—a catastrophe big enough to lure even the mercenary Jarlaxle into risking his own coin and skin to stop it.
