Having found a measure of peace among the dwarves in Mithral Hall, Drizzt Do'Urden begins to know contentment for the first time in his tumultuous life. Bruenor has reclaimed his throne, Regis has been freed from Artemis Entreri, and Wulfgar is to be wed. But for a dark elf renegade that hails from the Underdark--a city of ruthless drows, all ruled by priestesses of the demon goddess Lolth--no peace can last forever.

It is Lolth herself, the dreaded Queen of the Demonweb Pits, who musters her followers to pour up from the black depths of the Underdark to reclaim the one soul that managed to elude her: the soul of Drizzt Do'Urden.

Siege of Darkness is the third book in the Legacy of the Drow series and the ninth book in the Legend of Drizzt series.
