A spinoff of The Legend of Drizzt novel series launches as an Audible exclusive this week. On October 24th, Audible will release Betwixt Two Worlds: A D&D 50th Anniversary Adventure, a new audio novella focused on Drizzt's daughter Breezy. The audio novel was written by R.A Salvatore and narrated by Victor Bevine. Based on the three hour length, this isn't a full-length novel. Breezy, also known as Briennelle Zaharina, is the daughter of Drizzt and Catti-Brie. She was first introduced in the 2020 novel Relentless but has made no further appearances since.

Interestingly, as an Audible Original, there doesn't appear to be plans to release a print (or digital print) version of the book. For the time being, Audible might be the only way to enjoy this introduction to Breezy Do'Urden.

A Webtoon about Breezy was announced last year but has faced significant delays. Per artist Ryan Maniulit's Tumblr, he stepped away from the project due to "various reasons" and had no update on that series.


When Drizzt Do’Urden first entered Icewind Dale in 1347, he found a place quite unlike anywhere he had ever known, a land of freezing winds and ferocious monsters, of dramatic vistas and unrelenting challenges. Most of all, though, he found a land populated by folk who knew all too well the price of a misstep, whether walking into a yeti den or trusting a stranger.

Making his way in those early days was no easy task, but Drizzt would find focus and joy in watching the antics of a girl and a bunch of dwarfs trying to keep her from getting herself killed. A girl who would become his friend, who would become a woman, who would become his wife.

When Breezy Do’Urden, the daughter of that marriage, enters Icewind Dale more than 150 years later, she finds a land no more tamed. And while her father’s reputation has mostly smoothed the way for her among the ever-suspicious people, she carries her own concerns, confusion, and a trauma realized in the difficult journey through the Spine of the Word Mountain.

She also carries the blood on her hands.

Is that what they went with in the books?

Yes, they had their memories as the adults they used to be from birth. It was a very weird, perhaps the weirdest book RA Salvatore ever wrote, but it worked and created an interesting background for the none Drizzt Companions. Even more unusual they remember their time in the afterlife.

I gave up a while back. Last one I read involved Gauntlegrym, an Elf monk as a lolthite and Pwent was a vampire.

That reincarnation story is so bad. I forgot about it. Move on Bob.

It's frankly pretty bad to imagine a few different people had their whole mind and identities replaced with that of dead people.

Blame WotC. They wanted to blow up the Realms thus killing 99% of all the iconic characters. Then they realized what a stupid F'in idea that was and let him bring his characters back.

You should hear him tell it how he and Greenwood pleaded to WotC not to blow up the Realms and ruin everything.

I still run my Faerun games before the Spellplague.

By the by, the reincarnation stuff is extra funny now because Drizzt's goddess did him a special favor by hanging onto all of his friends souls and then reincarnating them. Currently, Drizzt is questioning his goddess and basically being an agnostic jerk. Your goddess has only gone completely out of her way for you to bring back your loved ones but sure question if she's actually worth the worship.

And don't get me started on the newly discovered Good Drow who are so much better at everything than the Evil Drow. And yes, Eilistree Drow have apparently been forgotten by WotC.

Technically he hasn’t, since the origin Cattie Brie died during the Spellplague. This is a reincarnation who we met as an adult. All Drizzts original friends are dead!
That certainly puts a weird fantasy/sci-fi spin on the question.

If you knew a person when they were a kid, they grew up, they died, they were reincarnated, grew up to adulthood again . . . and THEN you started a romantic relationship . . . and you're still a relatively young elf despite having lived at least a century . . .
 

I dislike age gaps in stories, but as long as they don't know each other when one is a child I get over it... this one (and harry dresden fans/shippers) rubs me the wrong way
More or less same.

New Drow enclaves wasn't WotC, Salvatore claims he's been pushing for this idea for years but WotC only let him recently.

Oh, yeah, I'm with you on that. It's...creepy.

I'm mostly making fun of the idea that "this is absolutely nothing like Woody Allen because there was never a legally recognized child-to-adult-guardian relationship." WTF?
