On December 1st Tor Books and Paizo are releasing Pathfinder Tales: Bloodbound, the first novel from Pathfinder RPG co-creator and noted game designer F. Wesley Schneider. It’s a dark fantasy adventure of murder, intrigue, and secrets best left buried, set in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder role-playing game; and we have more details for you here.
Since its launch in 2008, Pathfinder has topped RPG sales charts for several years running and has grown to become one of the most important and best-loved tabletop RPGs in the world. In 2010 the “Pathfinder Tales” novel line was launched by the game’s publisher, Paizo, and has included more than 20 exciting fantasy novels by Tim Pratt, Michael A. Stackpole, Ed Greenwood, James L. Sutter, Howard Andrew Jones, and Liane Merciel, among others. Since then, Pathfinder has been translated into five languages, released a wildly popular card game, and inspired computer games, comic books, audio dramas, gaming figurines, and toys.
As for Schneider, he has published countless gaming products for both Pathfinder and Dungeons & Dragons and is a former assistant editor of Dragon magazine. Bloodbound is his first novel.
Fans of the DragonAge, Dragonlance, and Forgotten Realms series will be swept up in this brand new novel set in the highly acclaimed world of Pathfinder.
Synopsis:
Pathfinder Tales: Bloodbound follows the story of Larsa, a dhampir—half-vampire, half-human. In the gritty streets and haunted moors of Gothic Ustalav, she’s an agent for the royal spymaster, keeping peace between the capital’s secret vampire population and its huddled human masses. Yet, when a noblewoman’s entire house is massacred by vampiric invaders, Larsa is drawn into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse that will reveal far more about her own heritage than she ever wanted to know.
