The Dark Elf Trilogy: Dungeons & Dragons

The legend begins! Rediscover the epic origins of dark elven ranger Drizzt Do'Urden with the first three novels of the iconic Legend of Drizzt.

The Dark Elf Trilogy contains the novels Homeland, Exile, and Sojourn.

Watching the cat’s easy movements, Drizzt realized again how fortunate he was to have found a companion of like spirit, a true friend. The way would not be easy for him and Guenhwyvar beyond the guarded borders of Menzoberranzan. They would be unprotected and alone—though better off, by Drizzt’s estimation—more than they ever could be amid the evilness of the drow.

Drizzt stepped into the tunnel behind Guenhwyvar and left Menzoberranzan behind.

So begins the journey of Drizzt Do’Urden from the shadows of the Underdark to the light of the surface, whose battle with family, nature, and the threats of evil incarnate have made him one of the fantasy genre's most enduring heroes.
