Though Drizzt Do'Urden is still reeling from an unexpected death, he is allowed little time to grieve. Dark elves hell-bent on destruction are gathering in the caverns deep under Mithral Hall. To keep his adopted home and family safe, Drizzt must now return to the dreadful city of his birth.

Nicknamed the City of Spiders, Menzoberranzan is one of the most dangerous places in the already perilous Underdark. For Drizzt, a rogue elf with a price on his head, setting foot inside the city is no small risk--it's certain death. But he and his companions are no strangers to such dire circumstances. Driven by their love for and loyalty to the dwarves of Mithral Hall, they will engage the dark elves in combat and willingly lay down their lives.

Starless Night is the second book in the Legacy of the Drow series and the eighth book in the Legend of Drizzt series.
