WotC Code:

The following is a description given by WotC on the reverse of the novel:

'She didnt want to steal it.
She didnt want to kill a Zhentarim agent.
She didnt want to double-cross the thieves guild.
She didnt want to owe a debt to the Red Wizards of Thay.
She didnt want to anger the followers of the dragon god Tiamat.
She didnt want to tie her fate to the dreaded Staff of the Necromancer.
But she did.'
