Rodrick is a con man as charming as he is cunning. Hrym is a talking sword of magical ice, with the soul and spells of an ancient dragon. Together, the two travel the world, parting the gullible from their gold and freezing their enemies in their tracks. But when the two get summoned to the mysterious island of Jalmeray by a king with genies and elementals at his command, they'll need all their wits and charm if they're going to escape with the greatest prize of all—their lives.
From Hugo Award winner Tim Pratt comes a tale of magic, assassination, and cheerful larceny, 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.
Awesome! Can't wait. After their brief reference in Reign of Stars, I'd love to see a novel teaming them up with Alaeron and Skiver.
For that matter, a novel that teams up characters from different Pathfinder Tales authors could be pretty cool, similar to the Avengers movie bringing together all of the heroes from their independent movies.
Huh, I was just saying to a friend last night that Rodrick and Hrym were the next Pathfinder Tales characters I'd like to get another book. Jump on this morning and see this...
Since you've apparently been reading my mind, I look forward to seeing a sequel to Skinwalkers announced shortly as well.
What are the dimensions of this book? Is it 6.7” x 4.2” like most in the past novels or 8.2” x 5.4” like the recent Lord of Runes? Personally I like the larger sizes for my books BUT now Lord of Runes does not match all the other Pathfinder books on my shelf. I know, 1st world problem. Liar’s Island is in my side cart regardless of the size. I really liked Pratt’s previous novel; my favorite Pathfinder author and that’s saying something.

All books going forward (i.e. all those published by Tor) will be in the larger trade paperback size.

Is there any plan for these books to become available again? I was reading the first of this trilogy and now the 2nd and 3rd aren't on any storefronts which is disappointing.

I don't have any insider info, but from scattered commentss I've caught, and based on my incomplete understanding, it feels like the publishing agreements for the old "Pathfinder Tales" series of novel have fell through at some point, so it might be hard.
Now available for the first time on paizo.com as an e-book. Note that the price of the e-book has been reduced from the previous edition to match the price of the rest of the Pathfinder Tales line.
