Books by
R.A. Salvatore. The
trilogy comprises of "
Homeland", "
Exile" and "
Sojourn." It is a story of a
drow elf named
Drizzt Do'Urden who is born in the Dark
Elven underground world, in a city named
Menzoberranzan. The
Dark Elven society involves the
murder of houses and
family members to ascend in the
hierarchy. It is also dominated by the favour of
Lloth, the Spider Queen.
Drizzt soon learns that the
Drow way of life is not his ways and
escapes Menzoberranzan. He is constantly in conflict with his Drow instincts and his feelings. He then travels to the surface where he discovers
prejudice.
Personal note: Great books. If you're into
RPGs and
Dungeons and Dragons, I recommend you read the
trilogy. Although you're supposed to start with the "
Icewind Dale Trilogy" (it comes after
chronologically), I started with the
Dark Elf Trilogy.
