 The Diamond Throne (The Elenium) Book at Shop Ireland
The Diamond Throne (The Elenium) by: David Eddings
But while the 'Diamond Throne' isn't the best beginner to a fantasy trilogy I've ever read, I'll probably be reading the sequels, if only because Eddings is such a good writer and while this isn't original, it is easy to get into and very well paced.
To be brutal, this isn't top-form Eddings, but it is more than competant and if you're a fan of his as I am, you'll whiz through this and not be greatly struck by the lack of innovation until the end.

In this case, I think AU and Diamond Throne are top-notch.
The DIamond Throne is a really neat setting, and tailored to the AU rules, but to me there's nothing that just stands out and screams, "COOL!" before the gaming public.
The thing to keep in mind is that the Diamond Throne is a gazetteer-style campaign guide.

This is a book written for me and my friends, older gamers who have been gaming for years and only use Alignment as a rough guideline anyway, chafing under the magic and rules that kept them in place.
