Maestro Maestro by R . A . Salvatore is the second book of the Homecoming series . It was released on April 5 , 2016 . Summary . Demons abound in the Underdark surrounding Menzoberranzan after Gromph Baenre ' s accidental summoning of Demogorgon to the drow city . Yvonnel Baenre , meanwhile , has advanced her magic and her body ' s physical age forward by two decades as she plots to bring more chaos to Menzoberranzan . In Gauntlgrym , Catti - brie discovers that the ancient magic that seals in the primordial is weakening and so the Host Tower of the Arcane must be rebuilt . As she embarks on a task to bring together architects of a restored Host Tower , Jarlaxle requests Drizzt ' s help in returning to Menzoberranzan with Artemis Entreri to rescue Dahlia , who remains in a perpetually confused state as Matron Mother of House Do ' Urden . Back in Menzoberranzan , High Priestess Kiriy Xorlarrin plots alongside House Hunzrin and House Melarn to serve her own ends : replace House Do ' Urden with a restored House Xorlarrin under her rule . As Jarlaxle ' s party approaches Menzoberranzan , Drizzt is affected by the " Faerzress " and Yvonnel ' s magic combined with the mind - powers of K ' yorl Odran , leading Drizzt to believe his life since his near - death on Kelvin ' s Cairn has all been a deception , similar to the way Wulfgar was deceived while in the clutches of the balor Errtu . On the surface , Catti - brie gathers allies in her quest to rebuild the Host Tower : Archmage Gromph Baenre , wizard Penelope Harpell and her clan , Shadovar Lord Parise Ulfbinder , sorcerer Lady Avelyere , cloud giant Caecilia , copper dragon sisters Tazmikella and Ilnezhara , and later Kimmuriel Oblodra as ambassador to the illithid hive mind . Catti - brie has a spat with Gromph that ends with her displaying to him her increased magical powers . When the dwarves discover the Host Tower cannot be rebuilt the way they originally intended , Catti - brie consults with the primordial in order to discover a new , more arcane method of construction . In Menzoberranzan , Jarlaxle and his party arrive at House Do ' Urden just as Kiriy enacts her plot and House Do ' Urden is overcome by House Hunzrin and House Melarn . However , the trio turns the tide , slaying half a dozen priestesses and sending Matron Mother Zhindia Melarn fleeing . The trio hurry to rescue Dahlia but are captured by Yvonnel , who has a devious task in mind . She keeps Jarlaxle , Entreri , and Dalia imprisoned , promising their freedom if Drizzt is willing to become Menzoberranzan ' s — and Lolth ' s — champion against Demogorgon . In a plan as complicated as it is devious , Drizzt serves as the conduit for the combined psionic powers of K ' yorl Odran , Yvonnel Baenre , Gromph Baenre , Kimmuriel Oblodra , and the illithid hive mind , ultimately resulting in the defeat of Demogorgon . However , instead of freeing the captives , Yvonnel attempts to make Drizzt choose to sacrifice one of them for the others ' freedom . Drizzt refuses and Yvonnel , amused by the action , sets Jarlaxle , Entreri , and Dahlia free . Drizzt is not released until a tenday later after he has refused Yvonnel ' s offer to make him king of Menzoberranzan . Instead , she sends him back to Catti - brie , whom he believes is a deception , with the expectation that Drizzt will kill her before realizing his error . Index . Characters . Main characters .
