The Two Swords by R. A. Salvatore

After a devastating orc invasion and personal losses, a seasoned drow ranger and his close band of friends must rally to defend the North as an uneasy new orcish king consolidates power; amid brutal battles, sieges, and political maneuvering, each companion faces their own scars and temptations, from a broken barbarian seeking purpose to a steadfast dwarf and archer fighting to hold their home. Old rivalries and unexpected alliances collide as the ranger wrestles with vengeance, duty, and the search for peace, culminating in a tense confrontation that forces everyone to confront what they are willing to sacrifice to protect the people they love.
