The Finder’s Stone trilogy was one of the most popular Forgotten Realms novel series of its era. Written by married couple Kate Novak and Jeff Grubb, it introduced a memorable pair of adventurers and told a story that became part of the Realms’ official lore for years afterward.

Azure Bonds (1988) opens with the warrior Alias waking in a tavern with strange blue tattoos on her arm and gaps in her memory. Alongside her odd companion Dragonbait, a lizard-like saurial, she sets out to discover who branded her and why. The novel proved so successful that Strategic Simulations released the computer RPG Curse of the Azure Bonds in 1989. The Wyvern’s Spur (1990) shifts focus to the Wyvernspur family and a stolen magical heirloom, while Song Of The Saurials (1991) concludes the trilogy with a conflict involving the dark god Moander and the mysterious bard Finder. The trilogy holds up as one of the more character-driven entries in the Forgotten Realms line, with Alias and Dragonbait remaining fan favorites.
