New R.A. Salvatore Novel, Starring Drizzt's Daughter, Title and Synopsis Revealed

R.A. Salvatore's next novel will focuse of R.A. Salvatore reveals his new D&D novel — and why he wanted to follow Drizzt’s daughter Breezy, daughter of the Forgotten Realms' most famous drow ranger. Announced today via Polygon, Salvatore's next novel is titled The Finest Edge of Twilight and will feature Breezy as she tries to become a Master of Dragons. The book will also feature Dahlia Sin'felle, a recurring character from Drizzt's past. Although the book was previously announced last year, the title and synopsis (seen below) are brand new, along with the October 7, 2025 release date.

The new novel is meant to kick off a new saga for Salvatore and the Forgotten Realms, with Breezy looking to step out of her parents' shadows. She has appeared as a minor character in other books and was supposed to star in a long delayed WebToon online comics series.

The Finest Edge of Twilight will be released on October 7.

Breezy Do’Urden is more than just the heir of legendary heroes. For the past decade, she has dedicated herself to the study of combat, magic, and more recently, to the elusive Way of Shadow, honing her body and mind into a keen and singular weapon. But even after years of effort, her parents, Drizzt and Cattie-Brie, struggle to see Breezy as more than just their little girl. Determined to prove them wrong, Breezy takes on the most intense challenge she can: to fight her way to becoming a Master of Dragons at the renowned Monastery of the Yellow Rose.

Meanwhile, in the shadows of Westbridge, Dahlia Sin’felle plots her rise to power. Once a broken soul, Dahlia has few friends and fewer options to make her way through the world. But Dahlia believes she has discovered a new path to restored glory: the transformative charm and cunning of a vampire. With every step toward immortality, she consolidates her influence, building an empire from the darkness, even as she contends with her own monstrous instincts — and her complicated past with Breezy’s family.

As Breezy fights her way through the shadows, and Dahlia follows her dark ambitions, both seek to find their place in a world that can be both brutal and beautiful. No matter the challenges, their divergent paths are forged by the same choice: their fates will be theirs and theirs alone.

I've greatly enjoyed Bob's Forgotten Realms books over the years, but this just seems like a very obvious Mary Jane character, who will immediately be a grandmaster fighter, monk, and wizard all rolled into one, and at a young age. All so very similar to her mother, who is my least favorite of the "heroes", because she went from being a fledgling fighter who was given an artifact level bow - which reminded me of players who would try to bring low level characters into a campaign with an absurdly powerful magic item - then became a suddenly great fighter, powerful cleric, and a master wizard able to impress Gromph, who single-mindedly studied magic over hundreds of years, and was on her way to learning from Drizzt into being a master monk, as well. Characters without flaws, who suddenly excel at everything, and have no weaknesses are incredibly boring.

This sounds like every criticism of Salvatore’s books going back to 1988.

If Mary Sue's offend you, this might not be the novel series for you .

I kid but it's seems like she's 95% Monk, with maybe a feat magic initiate or a slight multiclass Cleric (for now I lean towards cleric because I saw no sign of a spellbook, outside change of Sorcerer maybe, but cleric is just less MAD).

I assume she will beat the BBEG and suffer no lasting consequences.*
But she might be entertaining along the way!

*Bonus points if she gets cursed with incredible power.
