Angel with the Sword by C.J. Cherryh
5.0
This novel set down the "rules" for the Merovingen shared world series that appeared around the same time as the first Thieves' World series and as such were on the store shelves when I first started reading SF and Fantasy. (Just looking at a cover by Tim Hildebrandt is enough to make me utterly weak with nostalgia.)
Fans of Ellen Kushner's Riverside should check this out. It's a bit more skullduggery and RPG sourcebooky than Kushner, but Cherryh's prose is pretty phenomenal.
