The first novel in the now-classic D&D trilogy set in the Forgotten Realms

Alias is a sell-sword, a warrior-for-hire, and an adventuress-and she's in big trouble. She woke with a series of twisting, magical blue sigils inscribed on her arms, and no memory of how she got them.

Determined to learn the nature of the mysterious tattoo, Alias joins forces with an unlikely group of companions: the halfling bard, Ruskettle, the southern mage, Akabar, and the oddly silent lizard-man, Dragonbait. With their help, she discovers that the symbols hold the key to her very existence.

But those responsible for the sigils aren't keen on Alias's continued good health. And if the 5 evil masters find her first, she may discover all too soon their hideous secret.
