Assassin Artemis Entreri whisks his kidnapped victim, Regis the halfling, south to Calimport and into Pasha Pook's vengeful hands. If Pook can control the magical panther Guenhwyvar, Regis will die in a real game of cat and mouse.

Using an enchanted mask, dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden hides his heritage and races with the barbarian Wulfgar to save their light-fingered friend. An unexpected ally arrives just as Entreri springs a trap. But can Regis survive unscathed?

The companions from Icewind Dale battle pirates on the famed Sword Coast, brave the deserts of Calimshan, and fight monsters from other planes to resuce their friend... and themselves.

The Halfling's Gem is R.A. Salvatore's exciting conclusion to The Icewind Dale Trilogy, set in the Forgotten Realms fantasy world.

R. A. Salvatore

R. A. Salvatore

In a genre known for sprawling maps and ancient prophecies, R. A. Salvatore carved his legacy not just through epic battles, but by giving his heroes a soul.

Long before fantasy became mainstream, Salvatore introduced readers to Drizzt Do’Urden—a dark elf torn between the violent culture he was born into and the moral code he chose to follow. This inner struggle, threaded through fast-paced combat and sweeping world-building, struck a nerve. Drizzt wasn’t just another sword-wielding adventurer; he was a philosophical outsider in a genre that rarely stopped to ask why.

Raised in Massachusetts, Salvatore didn’t grow up dreaming of dragons—his love of storytelling bloomed later, sparked by a battered copy of The Lord of the Rings during a snowstorm. From there, he wrote with the urgency of someone discovering a new language. His early jobs, from warehouse worker to bouncer, taught him about grit and consequence, lessons that quietly shape his fiction. You can feel it in every clash of blades and moment of quiet doubt.

Though best known for his work in the Forgotten Realms, Salvatore has built original worlds as well—like the DemonWars Saga, where magic and mortality are deeply entwined. His stories explore what it means to choose your path, even when the world expects you to follow another. That moral complexity, paired with some of the most kinetic fight scenes in modern fantasy, has earned him a fiercely loyal readership.

He once said, “It’s not the sword, it’s the hand that wields it.” That philosophy echoes through all his work—reminding readers that even in a world of monsters and magic, the hardest battles are often internal.
