The Icewind Dale Trilogy is a trilogy of novels written by science fiction and fantasy author R.A. Salvatore. The trilogy contains three books: The Crystal Shard, Streams of Silver, and The Halfling's Gem and tells the tale of ranger Drizzt Do'Urden the drow (or dark elf), Wulfgar the barbarian warrior, Regis the halfling, dwarf king Bruenor, and Bruenor's adopted human daughter Catti-brie. It is the first of Salvatore's Forgotten Realms novels, describing the events that created some of the best-known characters in that world. The final book of this series, The Halfling's Gem, appeared in the New York Times Best seller list.
A prequel trilogy, The Dark Elf Trilogy, followed as did several subsequent sequel series such as Legacy of the Drow and Paths of Darkness.

In later years, these and other books featuring the character Drizzt Do'Urden have been rebranded as installments of The Legend of Drizzt: current publications of the Icewind Dale Trilogy are identified on their covers as books IV, V, and VI of that series.
