For elven Pathfinder Varian Jeggare and his devil-blooded assistant Radovan, things are rarely as they seem. Yet not even the notorious crime-solving duo is prepared for what they find when a search for a missing Pathfinder takes them into the mist-shrouded mountains of gothic Ustalav. Beset on all sides by noble intrigue, mysterious locals, and the deadly creatures of the night, Varian and Radovan must use both sword and spell to track the strange rumors to their source and uncover a secret of unimaginable proportions. But it’ll take more than merely solving the mystery to finish this job, for a shadowy figure has taken note of the pair’s investigations, and is set on making sure neither man gets out of Ustalav alive...

Sympathique pour mon premier roman Pathfinder. Il y a le sexisme ordinaire inhérent à beaucoup de livres de fantasy "classiques" (personnages féminins tous amoureux d'un des héros ou méchants par exemple) mais rien de rédhibitoire pour une lecture classique. C'était agréable d'avoir des références à cet univers que je découvre peu à peu, ce qui permets à ce roman d'être pour moi juste au dessus de la moyenne. Je déplore par contre le nombre pharaonique de références inexpliquées et incompréhensibles, si je n'étais pas en train de lire le guide la mer intérieure de Pathfinder 1e parallèlement, je pense que je serais passée à côté de la moitié du bouquin.
