New Drizzt Book “Lolth’s Warrior” Gets Release Date

It’s been almost a year since author R.A Salvatore published a new Drizzt book, but fans will be happy to learn that the legendary dark elf is back with an all-new adventure. Entitled Lolth’s Warrior, the book marks the third and final entry in the “Way of the Drow” series (which consisted of Starlight Enclave and Glacier’s Edge, the latter of which is currently in hardcover only, but will be available in paperback in May of 2023). You can grab your copy of Lolth’s Warrior now from Amazon.

This isn’t the only new Drizzt book we’ve got in recent months. In fact, fans of the drow ranger can also get their hands on the new Legend of Drizzt Visual Dictionary, which offers some incredible artwork to go along with the descriptions of the many foes, friends and places Drizzt has encountered over the 30 years since he first appeared in print (check out our reader’s guide which offers the full list of all Drizzt books in order).

What is the new Drizzt book about?

SPOILER ALERT!

If you haven’t read the first two books, the following description of Lolth’s Warrior from the publisher may give away a few surprises, so read on with caution:

The epic conclusion to New York Times bestselling author R. A. Salvatore’s electrifying trilogy, The Way of the Drow, finds Drizzt Do’Urden coming to understand his role as a friend, a father, and a man caught between the darkness and the light.

The drow city of Menzoberranzan has fallen into discontent, sowed by the growing legend of the one who escaped: Drizzt Do’Urden. Now many of the drow—including the city’s most powerful house, led by the Matron Mother—are questioning the influence of the Spider Queen and the very history of the city’s founding.

What secrets lie ahead? The drow are determined to find out, and they’ll stop at nothing to dismantle the very structure they’ve called home.

As social tensions rise and the demands for answers boom, a fight erupts between the adherents of Lolth’s chaotic evil and those drow who demand more, demand better. In the Underdark there are only absolutes and no compromise will be found. With winner taking all, Drizzt Do’Urden cannot and will not remain on the sidelines anymore. This will be an uprising Menzoberranzan will never forget, and the rest of the Forgotten Realms won’t be able to look away.

Book 1 and Book 2 of the "Way of the Drow" series by R.A. Salvatore.

When did the new Drizzt book come out?

The book was released on August 15th, 2023. For our money though, this series has included some of the best Forgotten Realms books of all time, and is likely going to be a solid conclusion to the trilogy.

Final Thoughts

It’s great to see Drizzt continue his adventures in Lolth’s Warrior. You can order it now from Amazon.
