    <![CDATA[Celebrate Twenty Years of Drizzt!<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Contains the novels <em>Homeland</em>, <em>Exile</em>, and <em>Sojourn</em>.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[The Dark Elf Trilogy is the first three books of Salvatore's Forgotten Realms series. It includes the books Homeland, Exile, and Sojourn. It is in the style of &quot;Dungeons and Dragons,&quot; which makes it very familiar as far as the type of abilities, items, and races you might expect to see.

It's not so much epic fantasy, but more a tale of an outcast in a fantastical realm and the many other ou...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61563510">more...</a>]]></body>
