Promise of the Witch-King by: R.A. Salvatore (Forgotten Realms)


Another great book.

I grant you your soul, but not your life. Be happy that I have found a measure of mercy.

THE WITCH-KING
A lich of unspeakable power that people say has been destroyed, but whose hand still somehow holds the realm in its grip.

THE KNIGHT
A champion of good with secrets as dark as any assassin's, she is the unlikeliest ally a dark elf has ever had.

ENTRERI and JARLAXLE might be strangers in the rugged, unforgiving mountains of the Bloodstone Lands, but theyhave been in difficult places before. Caught between the ghost of a power-mad lich, and the righteous fury of an oath-bound knight, they have never felt more at home.

Servant of the Shard by: R.A. Salvatore (Forgotten Realms)

A good book.
This book brings two familiar characters into the limelight for the first time! Jarlaxle, a dark elf assassin, and Artemis Entreri, a human assassin, work together and against each other in Calimport. Their conflict is intensified by the influence of the Crystal Shard, a malevolent artifact that has been raousing trouble in the Forgotten Realms world since its introduction in The Crystal Shard.
