Elves! Spiders! Matriarchy! Oh my! This week, Hannah assigns Stephanie a classic fantasy novel, Homeland by R.A. Salvatore. Will Stephanie hate her first foray into the Forgotten Realms?

Deep in the Underdark, a murderous matriarchal society of drow serve Lolth, the Spider Queen. Then one day, a lowly, third-born male, Drizzt Do’Urden, decides to challenge the status quo and question the very culture in which he was raised. Join Hannah and Stephanie as they unpack the origin story of one of Dungeons & Dragons most beloved characters.
