The legend starts here! The Legend of Drizzt(R) Collector's Edition, Book I
collects the first three novels in this best-selling series: Homeland, Exile,
and Sojourn in a new trade paperback edition. A great value for anyone who's
ready to experience the Legend of Drizzt. Drizzt Do'Urden made his first
mistake the moment he was born: he was a boy. In the rigid matriarchy of the
dark elf city of Menzoberranzan, that makes his life forfeit. But when his own
mother tries but fails to kill him, Drizzt's path is set. He must find a way
to escape the treacherous Underdark, even if that means setting out alone into
the no less dangerous World Above.
Renowned historian Salvatore Lupo offers a nuanced analysis of the mafia, emphasizing its complexity as a network rather than a singular organization.

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller! R. A. Salvatore returns with one of
fantasy's most beloved and enduring icons, the dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden, in an
all-new trilogy full of swordplay, danger, and imaginative thrills. Centuries
ago, in the city of Menzoberranzan-the City of Spiders, the city of drow-
nestled deep in the unmerciful Underdark of Toril, a young weapon master
earned a reputation far above his station or that of his poor house.
Zaknafein. The greater nobles watched him, and one powerful Matron-Malice-
decided to take him as her own. She connived with rival houses to secure her
prize, but it was ultimately the roguish Jarlaxle who caught him. Thus sparked
the birth of two key moments in Menzoberranzan: the coupling of a noble and
weapon master that would produce Drizzt Do'Urden...and the friendship between
Zaknafein and Jarlaxle. R. A. Salvatore reveals the Underdark anew through the
eyes of this unlikely pair-offering a fresh take on the intrigue and
opportunities to be found in the shadows, and providing a fascinating prelude
to the journeys that have shaped the modern-day Forgotten Realms. There,
Zaknafein and Drizzt are joined together in a series of trials that parallel
those of centuries long past, even though their paths no longer seem to be
aligned. How will a father, so long constrained by the vicious and
conservative world of the drow, be able to reconcile his ingrained prejudices
with the world and companions of his enlightened son? The answer lies in their
desire for peace over chaos. And as long as the scourge of the goddess Lolth's
ambitions still remain, both are determined to keep her dark will at bay. But
the Spider Queen is powerful, and now demons have been unleashed on the
unwitting denizens of the surface world. United in purpose-and through their
mutual friendship with Jarlaxle-Zaknafein and Drizzt will need to put aside
their differences in order to keep the ones they love safe.
Passage to Dawn Six years. Not so long in the lifespan of a drow. And yet -- in counting the months, the weeks, the days, the hours -- it seemed to me as if I had been away from Mithral Hall a hundred times that number. The place was another lifetime, another way of life, a mere stepping stone to. . . To what? To where? I ride the waves along the Sword Coast now, the wind and spray in my face. My ceiling is the rush of clouds and the canopy of stars; my floor, the creaking boards of a swift, well-weathered ship. Beyond that lies the azure blanket, flat and still, heaving and rolling, hissing in the rain and exploding under the fall of a breaching whale. Is this, then, my home?
