Hunters of the Dead!
Larsa is a dhampir-half vampire, half human. In the gritty streets and haunted peaks of Ustalav, she's an agent for the royal spymaster, keeping peace between the capital's secret vampire population and its huddled human masses. Meanwhile, in the cathedral of Maiden's Choir, Jadain is a young priestess of the death goddess, in trouble with her superiors for being too soft on the living. When a noblewoman's entire house is massacred by vampiric invaders, the unlikely pair is drawn into a deadly mystery that will reveal far more about both of them than they ever wanted to know.
From Pathfinder co-creator and veteran game designer F. Wesley Schneider comes a new adventure of revenge, faith, and gothic horror, set in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.
The second digital edition 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.

Reviews
"...this novel takes us in the direction of a gothic horror story, relying less on the elves and dragons one would expect from this type of narrative. Instead, Bloodbound offers a mix of the best of both worlds. Using high concept horror and the lush, expansive nature of fantasy storytelling, the result is a rich, Hammer style gothic horror overflowing with political intrigue and revenge.
Surprisingly violent, despite the humanity within Larsa and other characters, the vampires strike with a viciousness that is missing from broad audience tales like this.
A fun and violent spin on fantasy storytelling, Bloodbound is a great novel because it offers more than just a book to sell to fans of the game, this is a solid, original story that should please genre fans as well."
David J. Sharp
"The story is well-written and fast-paced with several fantastical and gore-horror-fabulous fight scenes: there were some towards the end that had me turning the pages frantically to find out how Jadain and Larsa would save their skins (and souls).
Throughout Bloodbound, Schneider allows these two characters to be the energy that powers the story, with no forced romances, and no ridiculous damsel in distress moments (though there is plenty of trouble for Jadain and Larsa along the way) to mar the tale.
Bloodbound is a rollicking dark fantasy tale lit up by two strong female characters whose friendship is allowed to shine through the story from start to finish. All together an excellent adventure."
