The Legend of Drizzt is a series of fantasy novels by R. A. Salvatore that began in 1988,[1][2] and consists of 39 books as of August 15, 2023.
[citation needed] They are based in the Forgotten Realms setting in the dimension of Abeir-Toril on the continent Faerûn in the Dungeons & Dragons universe currently published and owned by Wizards of the Coast.
The series mostly follows the eponymous Drizzt Do'Urden, a drow, or dark elf, portrayed against the stereotypes of his race, who defies the evil nation of his birth with his swordsmanship and courage.
He abandons the Underdark, a barren land of unmarked and limitless tunnels where deadly creatures continually lurk.
Note: The Hunter's Blades Trilogy has not been re-issued as part of the Legend of Drizzt series, but later releases have been considered as such.
