Frequently asked questions

  • Do I need to read other Drizzt books before Starless Night?

    Starless Night is the first book in the "Legacy of the Drow" series, but it continues the overarching narrative of Drizzt Do'Urden. While it can be enjoyed on its own, reading the preceding "Icewind Dale Trilogy" and "Dark Elf Trilogy" will provide a richer understanding of the characters and their established relationships.

  • Is Starless Night part of a larger shared universe?

    This novel is set in the Forgotten Realms, a prominent campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. It features characters and locations that are integral to the broader lore of this fantasy world, connecting it to numerous other books and media within the same universe.
