Stone of Tymora Books in Order

Stone of Tymora is a younger-skewing Forgotten Realms trilogy co-written by R.A. Salvatore and his son, Geno Salvatore. It’s built as a fast, welcoming on-ramp to the Realms: big adventures, recognizable locations, and a hero who starts with street smarts instead of a legendary sword.

The main character is Maimun, an orphaned pickpocket who survives by being quick, bold, and lucky. That last part becomes literal when he comes into possession of a strange stone connected to Tymora, the goddess of luck. The stone draws attention fast, and not the kind you want, which forces Maimun to run, hide, and finally take a leap that changes everything.

He stows away on a ship, and the story opens up.

The trilogy is built around motion, escaping one danger and stumbling into the next. You’ll get ports, back alleys, wilderness travel, and the kind of set pieces that feel right at home in a tabletop campaign: sudden betrayals, desperate bargains, and enemies who are one step ahead. Maimun isn’t a trained warrior, so he wins by improvising, reading people, and taking chances that a more careful hero would never take.

The Stowaway kicks off the chase and introduces the trilogy’s tone: a coming-of-age adventure with real danger, but a lot of forward momentum. The Shadowmask deepens the mystery around who is hunting Maimun and what the stone is actually for, while The Sentinels pushes toward a showdown that tests how much Maimun has learned about trust, courage, and consequence. The books keep the plot clear, but they don’t treat the kid audience as fragile.

Because it’s set in the same shared world as Drizzt, the story occasionally brushes up against bigger Realms legends. Those moments work like signposts, they remind you that the setting is huge, but the trilogy stays focused on one kid trying to figure out what kind of person he wants to be when luck stops feeling random.

It’s a good pick for younger readers, or anyone who wants the Realms without homework from page one.

If you’re used to Salvatore’s adult fantasy, this series feels lighter and quicker, but it still uses the same strengths: clean action, simple stakes, and characters who grow by making choices, not by being told they’re special. Under the adventure, the question is pretty sharp: is luck something you spend, something you earn, or something you’re responsible for once it’s in your pocket?
