From the back cover:
SWORDS, SORCERY, SPECTACULAR ADVENTURES
Tiana of Reme, illegitimate daughter of a murdered duke and foster child of Caranga, the greatest of the pirate captains, embarks on a quest for her half brother, Bealost. But a captured Narokan merchantman -- and a severed hand -- take her to treacherous, alien lands.
"Not since Jirel of Joiry has there been a sword-wielding heroine like Tiana Highrider. For a long time, the field of sword-and-sorcery writing has been waiting for a swordswoman who can stand beside Conan, Brak, the Grey Mouser . . . It is good to know that this is only the first of what I hope will be many adventures to come." -- Andre Norton
