Prince of Wolves
Paizo Publishing (2010)
Half-elven Pathfinder Varian Jeggare and his devil-blooded bodyguard Radovan are sent to find a missing colleague, and the trail leads into the mist-covered mountains of Ustalav, the gothic corner of the world of Golarion. Noble intrigue, secretive villagers and night-hunting creatures close in from every side. The pair are separated — the count falls into the hands of a cult of the goddess of undeath, while Radovan is taken up by a band of werewolves who believe he is the prince of their prophecy — and both end up hunting the same book of black spells. A detective pairing in the Holmes and Watson mold, dropped into gothic horror

מילה אישית מהקן:
This was the opening title of Pathfinder Tales, the fiction line Paizo launched alongside its roleplaying game, and it introduced Radovan and the count — the duo Gross went on to follow through Master of Devils, Queen of Thorns, King of Chaos and Lord of Runes. Gross came to the books from the industry's editorial side: he edited Dragon Magazine and Amazing Stories, and wrote novels for the Forgotten Realms before Golarion. Paizo reissued the series later in an author-revised edition
