Generations have passed since the original heroes of Baldur’s Gate saved the city and the Realms. Now a new threat rises—and an unlikely group of misfits are thrust into adventure with Minsc, the legendary Ranger do-gooder with a heart of gold, brain of lead, and hamster of pronounced wisdom.

In the legendary city of Baldur's Gate, a youngmoon elf (and wild mage) named Delina is pursued by stone gargoyles. Casting a spell to fight these monsters, Delina inadvertently brings to life the statue of the Beloved Ranger—Minsc and his hamster, Boo, are back! Unfortunately, the Watch thinks Delina and Minsc are responsible for the deaths the now-smashed gargoyles caused... Running out of escape paths, the group is confronted by two mysterious strangers—thieves![2]
