"Dark Elf" = Drizzt, no?
I'll bite, since I hear a lot about these....where's a good place to start the series?
I'll need something dark and evil after finishing Narnia.
As Yippie said you could start with reading the Icewind Dale trilogy, and work your way through the series. However, if you're looking for dark you could certainly read The Dark Elf Trilogy first, then go back to Icewind Dale.
The Dark Elf Trilogy: Homeland, Exile, and Sojourn, are definately dark in location, character development, and mindest. These books are the cornerstone of the character of Drizzt, so reading them first is definately a viable option.
About half way throught the series there is a spinoff in the Cleric Quintet. Although this series departs form Drizzt et al. it's worth reading. Some interesting character are introduced here that show up with Dirzzt in the Hunters Blade Trilogy.
The Hunter's Blades Trilogy is pure brutality. Almost the entire trilogy is centered around an intense war and combat, but not a worthy place to start the series.
About three quarters of the way through the series you'll read The Servant of the Shard. This book is a fork in the storyline being book 3 of the Paths of Darkness as well as book 1 of The Sellswords.
