About this ebook
On a mission sanctioned by the gods, an amnesiac warrior realizes he is woefully unprepared for a confrontation with the enigmatic Lady of Pain
The Lady of Pain rules the city of Sigil from behind a veil of perfect silence. Feared by mortal and gods alike, she flays her worshipers alive and casts her foes into inescapable labyrinths of despair. Only fools dare ask her to speak.
And the Amnesian Hero has come with a question.
When the god Poseidon tells a man with no memory how to recover his past, the unwitting warrior seeks out the Lady of Pain and finds himself banished to the Mazes. With the help of a beautiful—but dead—tiefling sorceress, a horned fiend with a dark disposition, and a deranged wind-priest who claims top be the center of the multiverse, he must discover the secret of the Lady's past—or confront a memory so horrifying it could tear him apart.

A slow and terribly painful waste of such good source material. If your trying to find any semblance of the creativity and energy found in the planscape setting your going to be in excruciating anguish over the paper thin varnish of sigil haphazardly slapped on to dull and lack luster version of an old Grecian myth. But In all honesty, even with that major flaw. The author is amazing at painting mental images. :(

This is the *only* hardcopy novel based on Planescape multiverse. The main plot closely resembles that of Torment game however it is different enough that you will be intrigued even if you read the game scripts a couple of times (which I strongly recommend!). The best part is that the book is written from the Lady of Pain’s viewpoint. Troy did a marvelous job at setting the right kind of dark mood for Planescape world (even better than he did in his Dark Sun books). For some reason I read this book twice both times when I was in a hospital recovering.
