Having unseated Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder RPG is the world’s bestselling tabletop roleplaying game - now available in a series of novels. In the the tradition of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser (if one were a talking magical sword) Rodrick and his blade Hrym are accomplished con artists and occasional adventurers - as long as it means easy money. When they get called to the court of an exotic southern island, they become pawns in a dangerous game of political intrigue. The only way to survive is to locate and liberate a legendary artifact. Paizo Publishing is the award-winning publisher of fantasy roleplaying games, accessories, board games, and novels.
