The Rod of Seven Parts
Epic Fantasy Young Adult Fantasy Sword and Sorcery Planar Adventure High Fantasy Quest Dungeons & Dragons Tie-in Collectible Game Fiction
The Rod of Seven Parts by Douglas Niles is one of the most sought-after AD&D tie-ins from the mid-1990s, a sweeping fantasy quest that sends heroes across the planes to reassemble the legendary artifact before the Queen of Chaos can plunge the multiverse into war. Clocking in at a fast-moving 210 pages, this 1996 Wizards of the Coast first printing delivers classic sword-and-sorcery action, planar travel, and the kind of high-stakes dungeon crawls that old-school gamers still talk about on forums today.
What makes this copy especially appealing to collectors is its near-pristine reading condition: only a single page shows minor thumbing, the rest of the text block is clean and bright, and the original dust-jacketed hardcover is intact—no cracked hinges, no sun-faded spine. A previous owner’s name appears twice on the front endpapers, a small personal touch that keeps the price reasonable while still offering a shelf-ready copy that displays beautifully alongside other 2nd-edition AD&D hardbacks.
For fans of epic fantasy, D&D lore, or anyone hunting the elusive “Rod” storyline that later influenced Planescape and 5e canon, this edition is the definitive English-language version. Keywords: Douglas Niles Rod of Seven Parts, AD&D hardcover, 1996 Wizards of the Coast, collectible fantasy novel.
