Sinopsis:

Cloaked in mist and layered in magic, the denizens of Moonshae Isles move in secret circles as capricious rulers vie for power.

High Lady Ordalf wanted her niece, the princess known as the Rose of Sarifal, dead. Instead, the young regent was secreted away by opponents of the fey queen of Gwynneth Isle. For years the eladrin queen has searched for confirmation of her niece’s death, and word has finally come in the form of a castaway. The princess lives on the island of Moray—a mad beauty that holds a nation of lycanthropes in her sway.

As long as her niece is alive, Lady Ordalf cannot rest secure in her claim to the throne. Enlisting a band of adventurers to seek out the princess is the first step toward stemming the Rose of Sarifal and her tide of wolves. Will they see the same threat the Queen sees in the beautiful young maiden?

Sinopsis:

The War of the Spider Queen—the epic, six-book series from the fertile imaginations of R.A. Salvatore and a select group of the Forgotten Realms best-selling authors—begins here. Ten years after its initial publication, we are proud to present this ground-breaking series in two attractive collector’s editions.

Extinction

Pharaun, Quenthel, Jeggered, Danifae, and Valas search for a way into the burning infinity of the Abyss itself. In an effort to survive will they lose everything it means to be a dark elf? Simply asking that question could bring the entire drow race to the brink of extinction.

Annihilation

At the end of a journey through the unforgiving expanse of the Abyss, a ragged band of dark elves hope to find Lolth herself. They’ve survived thus far, but the Underdark is child’s play compared to the chaotic latticework of the Demonweb Pits. Truth is what they seek, they may well only find annihilation.

Resurrection

Vying to be Lolth’s chosen vessel, Quenthal and Danifae search for the Spider Queen in the depths of her hellish domain. Another seeks the Queen of the Demonweb Pits with the intent to kill—but only if she finds Lolth before she completes her mysterious resurrection.
