The Silent Blade

The Silent Blade is the first book in the Paths of Darkness series by R.A. Salvatore. It was later reissued as book eleven of the Legend of Drizzt series.

"Wulfgar returns from the Abyss to find there are demons a hammer cannot crush.

Entreri has used his dagger to carve an empire in the back streets of Calimport, as he seeks the head of his oldest foe.

Drizzt learns that not all wounds bleed. And not all blades kill."

Plot
The Silent Blade follows Drizzt Do'Urden. It starts out with many characters but mainly him, Wulfgar, Bruenor, Catti-brie and finally the halfling Regis. Drizzt is carrying the Crenshinibon through Icewind Dale and Wulfgar has just been rescued from the demon Errtu. The story also looks at Artemis Entreri. Wulfgar ends up slapping Cattie-brie, mistaking her for a succubus and flees, angry with the world. He walks into Luskan, where he begins a relationship with Delly Curtie, one of the wenches. He is left out of the rest of the story but finds a friend in Morik the Rogue. Drizzt and Entreri are brought together at the end of the book by Jarlaxle to do battle.
