In "God Stalk," the first novel of the Kencyrath series by P.C. Hodgell, Jame, a Kencyr warrior, emerges from the Haunted Lands into Tai-tastigon with no memory of the past decade, only the destruction of her home and the death of her family. As an apprentice to a master thief in the Thieves' Guild, Jame navigates a life that contradicts her people's values of honesty and monotheism, exploring the city's diverse religious practices and even killing and resurrecting a god. At the Res aB'tyrr inn, she unwittingly uses sacred Kencyr dances for entertainment and destruction. Jame's search for her identity and the meaning of her powers nearly destroys Tai-tastigon, ultimately leading her to confront her destiny.
