After narrowly averting a city-wide disaster and thwarting the plans of the Council of Thieves, the heroes must consult a legendary hag -- the Mother of Flies -- who knows the many secrets of the thieves guild at the center of so many problems in the city of Westcrown. With the crone's unsettling advice, the heroes can infiltrate the trap-ridden headquarters of the Council of Thieves, defeat the vampiric force within it, and lift the curse of the shadowy menace from the beleaguered city.

This volume of Pathfinder also includes "The Ecology of the Thieves Guild," a comprehensive guide on how thieves guilds work and how to use them effectively in a campaign, including two sample thieves guilds from Korvosa and Port Peril.

Life after crime from the International Booker-shortlisted author of Elena Knows Fifteen years after killing her husband’s lover, Inés is fresh out of prison and trying to put together a new life. Her old friend Manca is out now too, and they’ve started a business – FFF, or Females, Fumigation, and Flies – dedicated to pest control and private investigation, by women, for women. But Señora Bonar, one of their clients, wants Inés to do more than kill bugs – she wants her expertise, and her criminal past, to help her kill her husband’s lover, too.
