About this listen

The book was hidden well.

Its pages promised the power of the Witch-King himself.

And now that it’s been found, even the fact that it kills anyone foolish enough to crack its cover won’t stop people from fighting over it.

Welcome to the Bloodstone Lands!

Human assassin Artemis Entreri and his dark elf companion Jarlaxle have come to the demon-haunted wastelands of the frozen north at the request of their dragon patron. It doesn’t take long for them to find themselves caught in the middle of a struggle between powerful forces that would like nothing more than to see them both dead...or worse.

But Entreri and Jarlaxle aren’t just any wandering sellswords, and the ancient evils and bitter blood-feuds of the wild Bloodstone Lands may have finally met their match.

Another great one

Loved this one, the insight into Artemis and Jarlaxle was a surprisingly welcome change if pace from the usual Drizzt/Companions stories. I love those stories and this had that same Salvatore flavour but with an enjoyable different angle in the central characters. I want more of this and didn't think I would when I first started it.

Brilliant series of books. Not obvious what order you should read them.

Surely with the advent of audible a series of books should be clearly ordered and the next book after this one is missing. Weird.

Ok back to my kindle.

A D&D game with your favourite characters

This book plays out much like a game of D&D, banding unlikely allies and two of the series's best characters together into a party and departing on a quest. In doing so it gives an inspiring look at how players at the table might integrate seemingly incompatible characters into a party. Thoroughly enjoyable and filled with tropes that any fan of D&D will enjoy

top listen

love the series, and more so because Entreri is awesome. Love his character arc throughout the books, just as good as Drizzts.
