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.
