The Icewind Dale Trilogy is where the Legend of Drizzt began. The Crystal Shard (1988) was the first Drizzt novel published, introducing the dark elf ranger alongside his companions Bruenor the dwarf, Wulfgar the barbarian, Cattie-brie, and Regis the halfling. Together, they defend the settlements of Icewind Dale from a power-hungry wizard wielding a dangerous magical artifact.
Streams of Silver sends the group on a quest to reclaim Bruenor’s ancestral homeland, and The Halfling’s Gem takes them south to the city of Calimport for a rescue mission. The trilogy established the Companions of the Hall as one of fantasy fiction’s most beloved adventuring parties and set the tone for the decades of Drizzt stories that followed.
