Book Description
Strange omens in the skies and empty villages speak of otherworldly invasion, but there is no sign of the enemy. The Nemelorean oracles look to an exile for help, but Kariayla has her own troubles in Mystland. Working beneath a corrupted government, she learns there is more to her role than studying ancient magic. When her daughter, Chara, is kidnapped by her own people, Kariayla reluctantly aligns herself with infamous criminals Wraith and Scorch, who enable her escape from Mystland. Their pursuit takes them to Nemeloreah’s border, where the true enemy is waiting. Kariayla learns there is much more at stake than the life of her daughter. Meanwhile, the White Demon has publicly murdered the Minstrel and becomes entangled in an unexpected journey. Forced to travel with his enemies, he suspects the little girl in their company is more than a mere hostage, and their destination will bring him to a point where the past and the future collide in a catastrophic battle.

Book Description
Set in a mirror of our own world, Sigil & Shadow is a roleplaying game of urban fantasy and occult horror in which players take on the roles of illuminated heroes and shadowed monsters to face the rising tide of supernatural forces. Ancient nightmares lurk behind the closed doors of board rooms, entities from beyond time prowl the city streets, forgotten rituals are reborn as viral memes. Do you take a stand against the encroaching shadows? Or do you seek their power for yourself? Powered by the highly accessible d00Lite system, Sigil & Shadow focuses squarely on the story rather than the mechanics – who the characters are and what they do, not how they do it. Easy to adopt to any mythos, campaigns can be built around a wide range of plots, with players taking the role of anything from paranormal investigators and monster hunters to members of occult cabals or secret societies. The setting offered sees a modern world buffeted by the tides of supernatural power, where beings of myth wake from their slumber while modern cults sacrifice to pop-culture gods and ancient cabals pursue their age-old schemes into the digital age.

Book Description
Grimassi has written extensively about Wicca, and Llewellyn specializes in books sympathetic to occult ways, so the combination is pretty predictable. He describes not only the usual magic practices, but also the religious and spiritual aspects of what believers say is inherited ancient European wisdom and scoffers say is made-up, new-age nonsense.
