Passage to Dawn: The Legend of Drizzt

By R. A. Salvatore

Danger awaits Drizzt Do’Urden and Catti-brie on the high seas in this fourth and final installment in the Legacy of the Drow series

It has been six years since the fateful Battle of Mithral Hall; six long years during which Drizzt Do’Urden and Catti-brie have been away from the only place they ever truly felt at home. The pain of a lost companion still weighs heavily on their strong shoulders, but chasing pirates aboard Captain Deudermont's Sea Sprite has been enough to draw their attention away from their grief.

But when a mysterious castaway on an uncharted island appears bearing a strange message, Drizzt and Catti-brie are sent back to the very source of their pain—and into the clutches of a demon with vengeance on his mind.

Passage to Dawn is the fourth book in the Legacy of the Drow series and the tenth book in the Legend of Drizzt series.

With his work in the Forgotten Realms, the Crimson Shadow, the DemonWars Saga, and other series, Salvatore has sold more than thirty million books worldwide and has appeared on the New York Times bestseller list more than two dozen times. He considers writing to be his personal journey, but still, he’s quite pleased that so many are walking the road beside him!

He still plays softball for his team, Clan Battlehammer, and enjoys his weekly DemonWars: Reformation RPG and Dungeons & Dragons 5e games. 

Reviews for Passage to Dawn

[xicanti_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

In many ways, this was a much quieter book that the others; despite this, I still found it compulsively readable. I didn't really realize just how quickly I was reading it until I noticed how few pages were left. Very good stuff. Definitely not literature, but a lot of fun nonetheless.

Not my favorite Drizzt novel. I still enjoy the writing, I still enjoy the characters, I just thought that here, the author was forced to go in a direction he didn't want to go and it showed. Being a shared world novel, Salvatore does not control the overall direction of the world, in this case it didn't work out as well.
