THANK YOU GABRIELLE! I OFFICIALLY LOVE YOU FOREVER! :D
They're from the Pathfinder Web Fiction Inheritance.
Definitely worth a read!

Excellent! I've been waiting for this since before it was a thing and I can't wait to hold and read this!
Also! Physical copies of Gabrielle's (first?) Hellmaw novel, "Of the Essence" are now available on her site. They're both gorgeous, but the hard cover is amazing.

Guys this has been the only Tale in the upcoming section for around six months - are there going to be more tales after this??
Paizo and the Publisher are working something out, but neither can comment on it at the moment due to legal reasons.
The next Pathfinder Tales novel would normally be out in june, so we'll probably and hopefully hear something in may latest. :-)

Thanks so much for the update, I was a little concerned! Franchise fiction is usually a no-no for me, but the Tales consistently punch above their weight; I'd be really sad trying to find something similar. Sword and Sorcery with decent writing, worldbuilding, and one-shottedness is really tough to source!

There's some news on that front over here.

This story meandered between plot-driven and character-driven and the pacing suffered for it, never building up any real tension.
The relationship between Keren and Zae was an interesting and bold choice. I was surprised that they didn't argue about faith, considering that Brigh and Iomedae have very different philosophies. I was even more surprised that the whole inter-species aspect of their relationship didn't seem to matter a lot (aside from Keren's anxiety of not being interesting enough for her gnome lover, which was a nice touch). While reading, I asked myself constantly "wouldn't the size difference make a lot of things akward?" I had to check my CRB to find out that it wasn't as extreme as I had imagined (a female gnome has an average size of 3'3" and a female human 5'4". There are 'odd couples' like this in real life.) Still, I would expect that even in an openminded metropolis like Absalom, relationships between humans and small folk would be seen as somewhat scandalous (I recall that relationships between humans and halflings were a thing in Kaer Maga, but I'm not aware of any other).

I don't suppose there is any new word on an Audible release for this? I quite enjoyed the first outing for these characters in the web stories, and want to check this one out, but sadly Audio books are really the only way I can get through a novel recently.
Also something I want! I played a Warpriest of Brigh in our Iron Gods game, and a war-wizard of Iomadae in our Wrath of the Righteous game. This book appeals to both of my interests!
