The first of a new serial novel series set in the "Forgotten Realms" world! Someone has kidnapped the fiancée of the Open Lord of Waterdeep on the eve of their wedding. Now the lord, Piergeiron the Palidinson, must find out who—but nothing is quite what it seems.

The "Double Diamond Triangle Saga" continues! Lord Piergeiron has fallen ill, but his loyal retainers prepare to rescue his abducted fiancée. But their quest lies far beyond the areas around Waterdeep, and in the uncharted Utter East.

A shadowy figure hires a group of unemployed pirates to aid him on a dangerous mission. But the mission has a hidden purpose, and somewhere behind the scenes it connects to the kidnapping of a young bride from Waterdeep.

The paladins sent by the Lord of Waterdeep to rescue his kidnapped bride have arrived in a kingdom of the Utter East. The monarch seems friendly, but the kingdom is beset by menacing fiends. Before the ruler agrees to help the knights in their quest, there is just one small task they must perform.

The pirates hired to assassinate the kidnapped Waterdeep bride are hot on their prey. Having landed on the shores of the Utter East, they face great danger—all without knowing the identity of their employer. Now, as the pirates make their way across the eastern kingdoms, fate sets them on a collision course with another interested party.

As the search continues in the Utter East for the kidnapped bride of Waterdeep, the forces of the paladins and the mercenaries converge. For the first time, the dark secret behind the abduction is revealed, and the searchers realize their quest is barely begun.

The paladins and mercenaries join forces to defeat a rampaging army of fiends and a powerful new weapon comes into their hands. But some suspect their leaders plans for the weapon.

A mixed company of paladins and mercenaries race back to Faerun after the object of their quest is revealed as a threat to peace and order throughout the Realms. But beware! The evil will lead them on a chase that ends in the last place any of them expected...

An epic quest is over... or ist it? Piergeiron, Open Lord of Waterdeep, is dead ... or is he? The search for the abductors of his bride Eidola has finally drawn to a close ... or has it? As the paladins and mercenaries gather in Waterdeep for a solemn ceremony, the last act of this epic adventure is played out against a background of treachery and deceit. And the last surprise will be the greatest of all. "The Diamond" brings to an end the nine-book serial novel published by TSR and set in the exciting world of the "Forgotten Realms."
