Book Review By Pamela Piarowski
Sea of Swords - Forgotten Realms, Paths of Darkness 4 by R.A. Salvatore

Once again, Drizzt Do'Urden, Cattie-brie, Regis, and Bruenor set out upon adventures, only to discover that Wulfgar, their dear friend and long ago companion may be in dire trouble. While his friends search for him, Wulfgar is chasing down his stolen battlehammer, Aegis-fang, that has fallen into the hands of Shiela Kree, a notorious pirate. Wulfgar is also battling his own problems, coming to terms with a newfound love for a woman who has become his wife and a daughter he has adopted. Drizzt and Catti-bre also find themselves becoming closer than they ever have before. But a dark force awaits Drizzt and his companions, and seeks to end the dark elf's life. This book is exciting, adventurous, and hard to put down.
