The Icewind Dale Trilogy is a series of three epic fantasy novels by R. A. Salvatore, published between 1988 and 1990, consisting of The Crystal Shard, Streams of Silver, and The Halfling's Gem. It marks Salvatore's first work set in the Forgotten Realms universe and introduces several prominent characters, including the drow ranger Drizzt Do'Urden, the barbarian warrior Wulfgar, the halfling Regis, the dwarf king Bruenor, and Bruenor's adopted human daughter Catti-brie. The series follows the group as they navigate challenges in the frozen regions of Icewind Dale. The final book, The Halfling's Gem, reached The New York Times Best Seller list. The trilogy is the first in a larger narrative arc within the Forgotten Realms setting and establishes foundational elements for subsequent stories featuring these characters.
This is a sub-series of the larger The Legend of Drizzt series — see that page for every book in the wider setting.
