Lost Book

Hey, all!

Not sure if anyone can help me with this one... about, hm, eight years or so ago I read this very interesting book that I can't seem to recall the title or author of.

In the book, a half-elf assassin, a psychopathic dwarf, and a neutral druid go on a quest to save the world from the good guys, who are on the verge of destroying it through good intentions. It used a D&D type structure, with alignments and standard races.

I picked it up out of the library for a weekend read, and haven't seen it anywhere else since. I now live in a different state and that library (alas) doesn't catalogue their paperbacks. I have a few clues, though.

1. The title or author had the word "Wolf" in it, or something similar to wolf. I think. Maybe it was cat. Okay, this is a bad clue.

2. The book was located within about eight feet of Zelazney's stuff in the library.

3. It seems to me that the title had a concept similar to "Strange Bedfellows" or somesuch.

I know that's not a whole lot of information to go on, but any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I've been looking for a copy for ages, and my SO is getting tired of my having to search M-Y at the used bookstore twice a week. <g>

Good suggestion, but I didn't see it on there.

I'm thinking it was probably written by a D&D fan but not about D&D, if that makes sense?

It was a little too gritty, and the quest the heroes were on was too world-encompassing to fit into a pre-existing world/with a pre-established storyline.

It did use a few conventions from first edition, though- true neutral druids and the assassin class, in particular. I don't remember a D&D stamp on the cover, though.

Nope, more serious in tone than Pratchett, and definitely darker- not White Wolf dark- just not straight out comical.

Did I mention that this was a tough one? <g>
