The Crusader Road, a Pathfinder Tales novel by Michael A. Stackpole, was released in June 2014. This novel was a backer reward for the Pathfinder Online Kickstarter campaign, announced as being written by Richard Baker. When it was solicited for release, the change of author was also announced.

An audiobook version narrated by Tavia Gilbert was released in October 2015.

When the aristocratic Vishov family is banished from their native Ustalav due to underhanded politics, they're faced with a choice: fade slowly into obscurity, or strike out for the nearby River Kingdoms and establish a new holding on the untamed frontier. For Lady Tyressa Vishov, the decision is simple. Together with her children and loyal retainers, she'll forge a new life in the infamous Echo Wood, and neither bloodthirsty monsters nor local despots will stop her from reclaiming her family honor. Yet the shadow of Ustalavic politics is long, and even in a remote and lawless territory, there may be those determined to see the Vishov family fail...
