Growing up in the chaos of Menzoberranzan, a young drow elf struggles to navigate the conflict between the traditions he must serve and the protests of his own conscience. To expose the injustices he sees and strengthen his own resolve to follow his ethical heart, Drizzt Do'Urden acts as an agent of action and introspection. And here, his writings become critical to his salvation, the way he makes sense of the world, which makes no sense to him at all. The influence of his words, his thoughts, his inner determination will carry him forward, forcing him to make decisions that others would consider perhaps noble, but undoubtedly foolhardy... even impossible. But for Drizzt, the only choice is to do what is true and rightly so.
