The Sundering
Tuesday July 02, 2013
The Sundering is a major story event that in its specific expressions will include six major hardcover novels, written by the most popular and talented Forgotten Realms authors (R.A. Salvatore, Paul Kemp, Erin M. Evans, Richard Lee Byers, Troy Denning, and Ed Greenwood) and released every other month from August 2013 to June 2014. Each novel will tell a self-contained story featuring both new and well-loved characters, set against the background of the unfolding events that are reshaping the world.
What good is your gold if your friends will not lift you when you have fallen?
How long lived our memory of you when you are gone?
Because in the end, that is the only measure. In the end, when life’s last flickers fade, all that remains is memory. Richness, in the final measure, is not weighed in gold coins, but in the number of people you have touched, the tears of those who mourn your passing, and the fond remembrances of those who continue to celebrate your life.
- Drizzt Do'Urden
This latest installment in New York Times best-selling author R.A. Salvatore's beloved fantasy saga, The Companions moves Salvatore's signature hero Drizzt into a new era of the Forgotten Realms. As Drizzt's fate hangs in the balance, he reflects on the lives of the trusted allies who stood by his side throughout his early life--the friends now known as the Companions of the Hall. Meanwhile, the first stirrings of the Sundering begin.
