Where it sits

• Universe: Forgotten Realms
• Series: Baldur's Gate (novelizations) expanded; position 2 of 3 in the series' recorded order
• Author: Philip Athans

Notes

• A novelization tie-in to the Baldur's Gate video games, distinct from the tabletop-era continuity followed by most other Forgotten Realms novel series.
• From the series record (Baldur's Gate (novelizations)): A 3-book series of video-game novelizations tying into the Baldur's Gate CRPGs (Philip Athans for the first two, Drew Karpyshyn for the third), distinct from the tabletop-continuity novel lines that make up most of the rest of the Forgotten Realms catalogue.
