Lord Piergeiron's fiancée is abducted to the distant Utter East during their wedding ceremony, leaving the Open Lord of Waterdeep gravely ill.

Where it sits

Notes

  • Part of the Double Diamond Triangle Saga, a 9-novella multi-author 1998 series set in Cormyr and the Dalelands; a companion/sequel work to The Nobles, though a separately-titled saga rather than the same books. Beyond the first volume, no independently confirmable ISBN was found for this edition.
  • From the series record (Double Diamond Triangle Saga): A 9-novella multi-author 1998 series following the Double Diamond Triangle trading company's affairs across Cormyr and the Dalelands; a companion/sequel work to The Nobles, but a separately-titled saga, not a duplicate of those books. Only the first volume, The Abduction, has an independently confirmable ISBN from the sources checked.
