A disgraced rogue, Raven Hightower, and his cursed Dragonborn partner, Hack Karroway, discover a treasure map leading to the legendary Eye of Vecna. Desperate for a final, life-changing score, they assemble a team of misfits, including a treacherous gnome named Trickfoot. Their quest takes them from the slums of Greyhawk to a secret Cuthbertine monastery and a dragon's acid-filled lair, all while being hunted by a fanatical death cult led by Hightower's former enslaver, the Drow prince Razer Vandree. In a brutal betrayal, Trickfoot reveals himself as Vecna reborn, steals the Eye, and murders their friend. Now burdened with the sentient Sword of Kas, Hightower must embrace an impossible destiny, confront the demons of his past, and stop the lich-god from reclaiming his Hand and enslaving the world.
