From the author of more than a dozen New York Times best sellers and his son, comes the second installment of a brand-new fantasy trilogy written just for
young readers.

Though robbed by a masked spellcaster and left for dead by a demon, Maimun refuses to give up the magic that rightfully belongs to him. Convinced that Drizzt Do'Urden holds the key to recovering the Stone of Tymora, he tracks the dark elf across the Calim Desert all the way to the docks of Calimport. There Captain Deudermont offers the boy refuge aboard his ship -- without realizing the deadly price he will pay for his loyalty. As perilous storms rock Sea Sprite and vicious pirates bombard its decks, a mysterious force gathers in the Moonshaes, threatening to bring Deudermont’s ship -- and Maimun's quest -- crashing to an end on its shores.

Best known for his epic tales of Drizzt Do'Urden, one of the most beloved fantasy characters of all time, The New York Times best-selling author R.A. Salvatore, along with his son Geno, has crafted yet another swiftly paced saga set in a world filled with magic, menacing monsters, and clanging swords. In this second book of The Stone of Tymora trilogy, the Salvatores continue their gripping tale of a boy who learns, under the watchful eye of Drizzt, how to stand against the darkness to fight for his friends -- and for himself.
