The Best of the Realms  is the first anthology produced by Wizards of the Coast in which fans actually participated in the selection of the contents. 

Fans chose their favorite Forgotten Realms titles from past anthologies via an online poll. These stories were included in this new release, which also features an all-new story by New York Times best-selling author R.A. Salvatore.  The new tale focuses on two of Salvatore's most popular characters: the drow mercenary Jarlaxle and his unlikely new friend:  the assassin Artemis Entreri.

Liriel stared at her father, too dumbfounded to realize that her churning thoughts were written clearly in her eyes.

"You do not trust me," the archmage stated in a voice  absolutely devoid of emotion.  "This is good--I was beginning to despair of your judgment.  Perhaps you will survive this ritual after all.  Now listen carefully...."

 

A novella-length story of Liriel's early life, first told in Realms of the Underdark, was the first choice of readers participating in an online poll at the Wizards of the Coast website. 

Many thanks to all who voted for Liriel's story!
