R.A. Salvatore is an American author of science fiction and fantasy novels, including his DemonWars Saga, the Forgotten Realms series and a few Star Wars novels. His most famous character is Drizzt Do’Urden from the Forgotten Realms series. Salvatore got into fantasy after reading The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. He is well known for very in-depth and intense battles sequences that come from his time working as a bouncer.

R.A. Salvatore wrote his first manuscript in 1982, which was titled Echoes of the Fourth Magic, which was not published until 1990. He made his literary debut in 1988 with his first Icewind Dale book, The Crystal Shard. Below is a list of Robert Anthony Salvatore’s books in order of when they were originally published (and in chronological order when necessary):
