What follows is a novelization of the Legacy of Fire Adventure Path published by Paizo for the Pathfinder RPG as it occurred for my players. Although the over arcing plot line is true to the published adventures this novel takes a lot of creative liberties in order to create a novel from a d20 campaign. Place names, religions, the world, and many characters are created by Paizo, but much of their reactions and personalities are of my own devising. Many of the side characters were created by me and the main ‘heroes’ by my players.

This book, The Heartless Dead, was spawned by a single concept at the end of the first adventure: Have your players decide what they would do with a year off to help rebuild Kelmarane. Thus, this book was born. From a single line at the end of Howl of the Carrion King, burst a legion of Heartless Dead. Thank you, Paizo, for inspiring us in such a simple way. Because this book in my novelization is referred to as book two, when it should be more accurately referred to as book 1.5, it throws off the numbers of the adventure path. Thus, ‘Book Three’ in my novelization is actually ‘Book Two’ in the adventure path, and so on.
