Advice : seeking Pathfinder Novel with Paladin and / or Cleric LG as main character


Tales


Greetings
I have read a few Pathfinder Novels, and enjoyed them
Yet I am slightly surprised to find most of the main characters (at least from books I have read) are rather shady. Nothing against that, just would enjoy reading about a "good" hero, but not Lawful good stupid. Lawful good (Or at least good) with nobility, honor,etc

Can anyone suggest a pathfinder novel with something like this?
Paladin as main character? Perhaps Cleric? Or better
Paladin AND good cleric off to "save the world"

Thanks

Those seem to be scarce.

But try Blood of the City. No paladin or cleric, but a druid protagonist can maybe count? I just ordered Skinwalkers, looks like the main character is also good.

And I also cast my vote for getting a Tale about honest-to-goodness Good Guys.

Silver Crusade

Both Queen of Thorns and King of Chaos have paladin characters as a main part of the cast.

And The Crusader's Road's protagonists are unabashedly Good with a capital G :3

Not if she's True Neutral (which she is...the Magnimar book lists her stats at the start of Blood of the City). And she's pretty shady in a few ways, just a lot less so than her antagonists.

For the original question, as mentioned, King of Chaos has a Paladin, as do Queen of Thorns and Plague of Shadows...though in none are they the full-on protagonist.

The other Radovan/Varian Jeggare books don't have Paladins (not that I recall anyway), but both the protagonists are, in fact, Good aligned, and show it. The Dagger of Trust also has primarily Good aligned protagonists (including an Eagle Knight).

If you look in web fiction "inheritance" and "a knightly mission" should fill your criteria

As has been mentioned, Opparal from King of Chaos is an LG paladin and one of the three POV characters, and I think of Drelm from Stalking the Beast as lawful good, so there are definitely some folks around already who likely fit your bill.

That said, I've already purchased a novel starring an LG paladin and a GG* cleric from Gabrielle Harbowy, so if you're willing to wait a little bit, I think I've got the novel you want pretty much made to order. :)

Gnome Good... so, good, but with lots of very colorful and perhaps (incidentally) deadly explosions?


spoiler:
Unfounded racial stereotype! We gnomes don't all explode things. Sometimes we open things up to see how they tick. :D

Shadow Lodge

There is also the short story, I believe its Certainty, which in my opinion was the best PF story I've read.


As i said in this old thread where someone sought a Paladin novel:

Bound by Iron features an ex military veteran paladin investigor teaming up with a chaotic bard/journalist in Edward Bolmes' excellent Eberron novel from the Inquisitives series.

It's not PF but it's a great paladin who is definitely not lawful stupid.


Liane Merciel's new novel Nightblade has a paladin protagonist as well as a good cleric in the party though the main character is an neutral (good?) illusionist from Nidal struggling/wanting to be good.


Thanael:

Yep I just picked up Nightblade
Have not even started reading it yet

But yes thanks for that tip
And I am looking forward to getting into this book
