Two thousand years ago, thirty silver Tyrian shekels were paid to secure the most infamous betrayal of all time. Later, the grandsons of Judas Iscariot, Menahem and Eleazar ben Jair, melted and reforged the silver shekels as a dagger which was lost... until now. A religious cult calling itself the Disciples of Judas has arisen in the Middle East. Followers in thirteen European cities martyr themselves in the name of Judas Iscariot and promise forty days and forty nights of terror. Sir Charles Wyndham pulls together a team of combat specialists, codename Ogmios, to fight the terrorists and protect the Pope, whom they believe the terrorists intend to assassinate.

Book Description
The epic tale of everyone’s favorite dark elf reaches new heights when Drizzt and his companions set out to reclaim a lost dwarven stronghold—the fifth chapter in the Dungeons & Dragons-inspired fantasy series. Drizzt Do'Urden still struggles with his own inner voices, voices that call him back to the pitless depths of the Underdark. But louder still are the voices of his newfound friends Bruenor, Wulfgar, and Regis—and the call of a dream that, at long last, Bruenor has decided to fulfill. Long ago, Bruenor and his people were driven from their home in Mithral Hall by a shadow dragon of the Underdark. Now, Bruenor is determined to reclaim his homeland and his rightful seat as its king. Aided by the combined might of his friends, Bruenor sets out on a treacherous quest for Mithral Hall, finding obstacles at every turn. But despite the terrors of the Trollmoors and the racism aimed at Drizzt, the group continues to fight—together. Streams of Silver is the second book in the Icewind Dale Trilogy and the fifth book in the Legend of Drizzt series.
