Homeland

Homeland is the first book in the Dark Elf trilogy by R.A. Salvatore. It was later reissued as book one of the Legend of Drizzt series.

"Travel back to strange and exotic Menzoberranzan, the vast city of the drow and homeland to Icewind Dale hero Drizzt Do'Urden.

The young prince of a royal house, Drizzt grows to maturity in the vile world of his dark kin. Possessing honor beyond the scope of his unprincipled society, young Drizzt faces an inevitable dilemma. Can he live in a world that rejects integrity?''"

Plot
Drizzt is being taught to fight in the academy by Zaknafein, the weaponmaster of House Do'Urden. Little does he know that the day before he was born seeds of madness were planted in a young member of House DeVir, Alton DeVir. Drizzt is forced to make many difficult choices in Homeland, which leads to him walking out of Menzoberranzan promising to never again in his life kill a drow.
