Mirian Raas comes from a long line of salvagers—adventurers who use magic to dive for sunken ships off the coast of tropical Sargava. With her father dead and her family in debt, Mirian has no choice but to take over his last job: a dangerous expedition into deep jungle pools, helping a tribe of lizardfolk reclaim the lost treasures of their people. Yet this isn’t any ordinary dive, as the same colonial government that looks down on Mirian for her half-native heritage has an interest in the treasure, and the survival of the entire nation may depend on the outcome.
From critically acclaimed author Howard Andrew Jones comes an adventure of sunken cities and jungle exploration, set in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.
The second digital edition, available on paizo.com for the first time, maintains the same editorial content as the previous edition, but includes a sample chapter of a new novel, Godsrain—A Pathfinder Novel, and updated back matter.
Beyond the Pool of Stars is also available as a digital edition on the following sites:
As much as I don't like the anti-Mwangi attitude of the Sargava colonists, I do believe that their the only ones currently capable of keeping the demon worshiping Bekyar tribe in line at the moment.

Ooh, I like the cover, too. Is that a drake or a primal dragon?
It appears to me to be an aquatic dinosaur (though I could be wrong on that). It does appear to have some sort of vestigal appendages (perhaps wings) so you might be right on the Primal Dragon guess (aka a Brine Dragon might not be too far off).

I looked in the bestiary and the sea drake might be a good fit. It's hard to say, not seeing a good view of its limbs.

…Sea drake for the win!
Good eye, Albatoonoe.
Monsters are my jam. It's why I got into the hobby.
I was super excited to see the original cover art sketches on this at GenCon last year, and I love the idea of underwater adventures. Excited to see this available. Well done, Howard!
Mirian has her family's debt, the lizardfolk want their ancestor's treasure, and Sargava needs the treasure as a whole or else it won't be able to pay for the Shackles Pirates protection anymore. So, either way this plays out, someone's gonna lose (unless Mirian can either find something even more valuable or figure a way out of her situation).
So, Mirian is Half-Mwangi / Half-Chelexian then? Is her Mwangi side Bekyar? I'd imagine that would cause some issues with trust and the lizardfolk / Sargavan government.
