When a blood-thirsty band of orcs, led by an as-yet-unseen enemy, comes rampaging out of the Spine of the World, it lays waste to everything in its path. Dark elf ranger Drizzt Do'Urden and his most trusted friends find themselves in the path of destruction. As blades slash and feet trample, even they may not withstand the Thousand Orcs.

It's war in the frozen wastelands of the Spine of the World, and the ravaged forces of civilization are running out of places to hide. No one's sure who's alive, who's dead, and who might be hiding behind the next boulder, around the next corner, beyond the next fork in the road. Forces for good and evil gather and settle in for a war that will be as long as it is bloody... and Drizzt Do'Urden walks alone among the bones of the fallen.

A weak-willed apprentice mage sets in motion events leading to the rediscovery of the magical device, the crystal shard. But is it merely an inanimate device or is it capable of directing the defeat of Ten-Towns? The barbarians' brutal attack on the villages of Ten-Towns seals their fate, and that of the young barbarian Wulfgar. Left for dead, Wulfgar is rescued by the dwarf, Bruenor, in exchange for 5 years of service and friendship. With the help...

Assassin Artemis Entreri whisks his kidnapped victim, Regis the halfling, south to Calimport and into Pasha Pook's vengeful hands. If Pook can control the magical panther Guenhwyvar, Regis will die in a real game of cat and mouse. Using an enchanted mask, dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden hides his heritage and races with the barbarian Wulfgar to save their light-fingered friend. An unexpected ally arrives just as Entreri springs a trap. But can Regis survive...

For years, the Legend of Drizzt has included short stories published in the Forgotten Realms Dungeons & Dragons anthologies and Dragon magazine. Collected here for the first time are all the classic stories - and one all new tale - by fantasy legend R.A. Salvatore. From the startling origin of Drizzt’s panther companion, to the tale of Jarlaxle and Entreri’s first encounter with the dragon sisters, the tales in The Collected Stories enrich this...

Looking down across the miles to Neverwinter, Drizzt Do'Urden has never felt more lost. His lover, Dahlia Sin'felle, can speak of nothing but the moment she will face the Netherese lord Herzgo Alegni once again. Drizzt has already followed a trail of vengeance beside Dahlia. Can he justify one more battle to settle a grudge he does not understand? Artemis Entreri offers to aid Dahlia in her mission to destroy Alegni. But Charon's Claw, Alegni's sentient...

Tromping through the Neverwinter Wood, Drizzt Do'Urden navigates a path littered with secrets and lies. Guenhwyvar, his panther, returns to his side. But Guen is not all she seems. In the Shadowfell, Shade warlock Draygo Quick spies through her eyes, intent on uncovering Drizzt's divine allegiances. Drizzt's lover, Dahlia Sin'Felle, tosses in her sleep each night, tormented by the memory of the child she thought she'd killed. Tangled up in her dark...

The Companions of the Hall are united in spirit, but not in ideals. The world changes around Drizzt Do'Urden once more and old debts insist on payment, old wrongs demand to be set right. And dwarves and orcs once again look at each other with hatred and distrust. Tos'un Armgo and Tiago Baenre work to make matters worse from the shadows, with blades drawn. The King of Many-Arrows is the image of peace in the North, and that's why he needs to die. When...

The Darkening is gone from the North and the orcs of the defeated Kingdom of Many-Arrows have fled back to their caves in the Spine of the World. The dwarves of Mithral Hall and the Citadels Felbarr and Adbar bury their dead and rebuild their damaged halls. Drizzt and his companions turn their thoughts to the future. The drow of Menzoberranzan have established a new city in the deepest reaches of the rediscovered dwarven homeland of Gauntlgrym. But...

Something akin to "peace" has come to the Underdark. The demon hordes have receded, and now the matron mothers argue over the fate of Drizzt Do'Urden. Even so, it becomes clear to one matriarch after another that while the renegade drow may come and go Menzoberranzan, the City of Spiders will crawl forever on. And so Drizzt is free to return to his home on the surface once again, but he doesn't go home unchanged. Scores are settled as lives are cut...
