Books by R.A. Salvatore

The strange and exotic Menzoberranzan—the great city of the Underdark, founded millennia ago by the dark elves after they left the surface world—is the home of Drizzt Do'Urden, the hero of *The Icewind Dale*. Drizzt, the young prince of one of the ruling houses, comes of age in his race's cruel and ruthless world, where the only ray of hope is his weapons master, Zaknafein, who teaches him how—and why—to wield a sword. Possessing a sense of honor incomprehensible to the unprincipled society around him—a society intent only on satisfying the vile whims of the Spider Queen—young Drizzt faces an inevitable dilemma: can he live in a world that rejects integrity?

Can the Crystal Shard be destroyed at last? Drizzt is determined to destroy the evil Crystal Shard, and seeks out the help of the scholar-priest Cadderly. But instead, his worst fears are realized, and Crenshinibon falls into the hands of the dark elf mercenary Jarlaxle and his unlikely ally Artemis Entreri. The Silent Blade is the book that brought Drizzt back to the Realms, and was a New York Times best seller on its initial release--and has been in print every day since. --- **This book is in the following series:** - Forgotten Realms - The Legend Of Drizzt | Book 11 - Paths of Darkness | Book 1
