Maestro carries the Homecoming trilogy's middle stretch, drawing Drizzt Do'Urden closer to Menzoberranzan as the political currents set moving in Archmage start to converge on his return. R.A. Salvatore keeps the drow city's schemers, priestesses, and Gromph Baenre's ambitions in play while Drizzt and his companions close the distance between the surface and the Underdark he fled. It bridges the trilogy's opening setup and its final confrontation in Hero.
