A twisted adventure set deep in the heart of the ever changing kingdoms of the Border Princes. Players must negotiate both the undead horrors of a long forgotten tomb, and the grasping ambitions of the petty princes who have sent them to recover an item of unsupassed power. Will they play the factions off against each other or simply opt to take the artefact for themselves? Will they survive the traps and tribulations of the adventure? Will they succumb to plague, terror and the guardians of the tomb? And how will they cope with the final twist in the tale- when they discover the issue is not what they have been sent to return from the grave...but who. Not only does Lure of the Lich Lord contain a thrilling adventure, but also extensive appendicies on tombs, traps, treasure and monsters that might all be found when plundering a tomb.

I was born to the name of Rachel Weatere in the year 1684, more than three hundred years ago. The one who changed me named me Risika, and Risika I became, though I never asked what it meant. I continue to call myself Risika, even though I was transformed into what I am against my will. By day, Risika sleeps in a shaded room in Concord, Massachusetts. By night, she hunts the streets of New York City. She is used to being alone. But now someone is following Risika. Someone has left her a black rose, the same sort of rose that sealed her fate three hundred years ago. Three hundred years ago Risika had a family -- a brother and a sister who loved her. Three hundred years ago she was human. Now she is a vampire, a powerful one. And her past has come back to torment her. This atmospheric, haunting tale marks the stunning debut of a promising fourteen-year-old novelist.

A witch has no business meddling in the affairs of werewolves. Still… Witch PI Shade Renard and werewolf Detective Sergeant Liam Osbourne have come a long way since their hostile first attempt to work together. But even in her wildest dreams, Shade never dared to imagine he would ask not only for her supernatural help on a case—but for her to take the lead in the investigation itself. There’s been a murder on the doorstep of New Moon, the shifter rehabilitation center run by Liam as alpha of the local werewolf pack. The number one suspect has killed once before and gotten away with it.

A rival alpha like Liam’s vicious patriarch, who arrives eager to remake New Moon in his own violent image. Solving this murder is about more than bringing a killer to justice. It’s about making sure that Osbourne Sr. doesn’t get the chance to destroy the sanctuary his son has worked so hard to build. Fortunately, Shade isn’t just a private investigator. She’s a witch.
