The Shattered Mask is a fantasy novel by Richard Lee Byers, set in the world of the Forgotten Realms, and based on the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. It was published in paperback in June 2001, with a paperback reissue in July 2007.

The Shattered Mask is a novel in which the matriarch of a Sembian family swears revenge for a murder in her family, while a power-hungry wizard uses his ability to alter reality for murder and destruction.

In a positive review, critic Don D'Ammassa wrote, "Unlike many of the books set in this universe, this new one takes great pains to develop the characters".^[1]
