I am not really sure. If there are books like that I would bet money that the word "Drow" isnt used. But another fantasy set might have Drow-like elves.

Depends. There has been continuing novels based around Drow in Forgotten Realms. The War of the Spider Queen was a rather long 6 book project.

Keith Baker's Dreaming Dark series featured a few Eberron Drow characters. Although the series itself is not Drow focused. The Shattered Land and Gates of Night (books 2&3) specifically. Gates of Night saw the inclusion of a Drow Character into the party of main characters.

Drowtales, the online manga is up and running after all these years. Definitely a different way of looking at dark elves.

I thought that the "Daughter of the Drow" series by Elaine Cunningham was one of the better Drow series written outside of the Drizzt books. I recommend giving at least the first one a try! heart

its about lireal brean (probally butchered speelign btu i really dont' care) and how she basically ends up self - exiling herself tot he surface and it centers around this artifact called the wind somethign (don't recall) and her quest to use it so that she can use her unqiue magic above ground and then it centers around the other drow hunting her down. its very goood and interesting adn the war of the spider queene is another good one.

The best drow based book series I have read so far is the War of the Spider Queen, and the continuation to that series which, so far, only has one book out, the Lady Penitent. WotSQ was somewhat bothersome in the fact that each book was written by a different author, and thus, the characters were somewhat different in each book. I'm actually reading it again now, for a school project, and the authors don't do to terribly, although, in my opinion, the ending sucks.
