While assassin Artemis Entreri wrestles with his past, dark elf Jarlaxle continues to fight for his place in the surface world in the final book of the Sellswords trilogy.

Ilnezhara and Tazmikella are ancient dragons of great power, accustomed to easily manipulating the humans around them. But not all humans are so easily led. When they pushed Entreri and Jarlaxle into the heart of the Bloodstone Lands, not even they could have imagined the strength of the human assassin’s resolve, or the limitless expanse of the drow mercenary’s ambition.

Artemis Entreri and Jarlaxle have begun to make a home for themselves in the rugged Bloodstone Lands, though not everyone is ready to trust men who've spent their lives killing for coin—much less one who is also an ex-devotee of a demon goddess. If they want to survive the Bloodstone Lands, they'll have to learn to trust their enemies... and be suspicious of their friends.

Road of the Patriarch is the third book in the Sellswords trilogy and the sixteenth book in the Legend of Drizzt series.
R. A. Salvatore is a fantasy author best known for The DemonWars Saga, his Forgotten Realms novels, and Vector Prime, the first novel in the Star Wars: The New Jedi Order series. He has sold more than fifteen million copies of his books in the United States alone, and more than twenty of his titles have been New York Times bestsellers. R. A. Salvatore lives with his wife, Diane, in his native state of Massachusetts. View titles by R.A. Salvatore
