The Stowaway by RA and Geno Salvatore
Mirrorstone, 2008
ISBN: 9780786950942
Available: New
Maiman is an orphan desperately trying to unravel his past. A mysterious elf forced him to flee from the home of the woman who raised him. He was taken in and educated by a bard who seemed to know much more about Maiman’s past but was unwilling to reveal it. Then he is given a piece of his heritage, a stone that a fearsome demon is seeking.
Maiman’s adventures take him across the Sea of Swords, with merchants and pirates. He lands in some of the biggest and brightest cities along the Sword Coast, and also meets some of Faerun’s most memorable characters. Familiar places are brought to life as Maiman travels to Baldur’s Gate and sails on the Sea of Swords, and readers who have followed the adventures of the Forgotten Realms will enjoy new encounters with characters such as dark elf Drizzt Do Urden, along with Wulfgar and Cattie Brie.
This book is a real treat for readers interested in the world of the Forgotten Realms. It is a pleasure to read, and the only complaint readers might have is having to wait until 2009 to see what happens next.
