The Crystal Shard

by R. A. Salvatore

Isolated in the barren stretches of Icewind Dale the villages of Ten-Towns come under attack by a tribe of barbarians. In the midst of battle a young barbarian named Wulfgar ends up owing five years of his life to a grizzled dwarf. With the help of Drizzt, a renegade dark elf, the dwarf strives to mold the barbarian into a warrior with both brawn and brains. Meanwhile, there is no peace for the people of Ten-Towns. The fractioned tribes of barbarians continue to pose a threat, and Wulfgar may be the only person who can avert a deadly battle. But an even more dire menace appears when a weak-willed apprentice mage stumbles upon a magical crystal shard. The evil shard directs the hapless mage onto a course of destruction that all of Icewind Dale may be powerless to stop. *from the paperback* ---------- **This work is in the following series:** - Forgotten Realms - The Legend Of Drizzt | Book 4 - Icewind Dale Trilogy| Book 1 ---------- **This work is in the following collections:** - [The Icewind Dale Trilogy][1] - [The Legend of Drizzt Collector's Edition, Book II][2] *See also the [Graphic Novel Adaptation][3] of this work* ---------- **The following ebook links were found elsewhere online:** - http://ten-towns.narod.ru/library/fr_iwd_1.pdf [1]: http://openlibrary.org/works/OL516718W/The_Icewind_Dale_Trilogy [2]: http://openlibrary.org/works/OL14960754W/The_Legend_of_Drizzt_Collector%27s_Edition_Book_II [3]: http://openlibrary.org/works/OL15333836W/The_Crystal_Shard
