"When the multiverse turns topsy-turvy, then Puissant Lords of the Universe fear for their lives ... the moon becomes a huge revolving die in the sky ... beautiful maidens cavort with dragoons (part dragon, part goon) ... trolls write books and invite knights in for pie ... a bent and ugly cobbler becomes a handsome and occasionally brave hero ... a severed sorcerer's-head speaks sooth (sort of) ... and even the Gaming Magi become playing pieces on the Wraith Board of time ..."--Page 4 of cover

The Golden Age of Heroes is over: capes and vigilantism are made illegal through corrupt political agendas. Anyone with abilities, young or old, is registered with federal records. Microchip devices are implanted under the skin of Supers in order to keep track of their movements, but many defy this law and see it for what it is: a way to herd them like cattle. Supers go missing from the streets and are never heard from again; rumors spread among the streets and underground communities of abductions being funded by the city's largest corporation: Draco Industries. One Super has been in hiding since he was a child, when the Registration Act had first been put into place, due to his blue skin and crimson hair. Zeke Blackwell makes a living for himself underground in an arena, pitting his own skills against other Supers. Making every point to stay out of the public eye, Zeke inevitably finds himself drawn into the thick of the abduction conspiracies only to find that not only are they true, but worse.

The Rebel Alliance’s elite strike force must double-cross an infamous warlord in the second book of the Wraith Squadron series, the companion to the hit Rogue Squadron series. Against all odds, the controversial Wraith Squadron has survived its first covert mission. But now they are called upon to cheat death twice. This time, Wedge Antilles sends them in to stop the warlord Zsinj and his Super Star Destroyer, Iron Fist. If Zsinj joins the Empire, it could turn the tide of war against the Rebels. The Wraith Squadron’s mission: infiltrate the warlord’s fleet and uncover his carefully guarded plans. To do so, they must pose as ruthless pirates seeking to join Zsinj’s forces. And that means first becoming pirates in space lanes teeming with Imperial navy patrols. If that isn’t enough to get them killed, they’ll have to pass one last test—a suicide mission for Zsinj. Can they survive the test and turn the tables on Zsinj? Or is this the end for Wraith Squadron?

The Rebel Alliance’s elite strike force must join together with Han Solo to take down their old foe, the warlord Zsinj. Wraith Squadron: they are the Rebel Alliance’s ultimate strike force. Sleek, swift, and deadly, they are the first in battle, the last line of defense. Now they must find and destroy a wily enemy more powerful than the Empire itself. Their covert mission has been a success. The enemy has been vanquished. Or so they thought. The Super Star Destroyer Iron Fist somehow escaped destruction and with it the New Republic’s greatest threat, the infamous warlord Zsinj. To defeat him, Wraith Squadron must join a combat task force led by the only man crafty enough to beat Zsinj at his own game: Han Solo. But Zsinj knows the X-wing fighters’ indomitable courage is both their greatest strength–and their greatest weakness. For even against the most overwhelming odds, the Rebels will fight to the death. And that will leave Zsinj the galaxy’s unchallenged master!

Thaw of the Lich Lord is a complete campaign for Frostgrave that will challenge both new and veteran players. Through a series of linked scenarios, players discover the existence of a new power in the Frozen City, one who was old when the great city was still young, and who saw both its rise and its disastrous fall. Warbands will confront the Lich Lord's minions, race against his agents to seize possession of mysterious artefacts, and brave the perils of Frostgrave in search of his lair. Eventually, they will need to muster all their courage to venture into the depths of the city and face the Lich Lord himself. Not all wizards will seek to stop the Lich Lord, however, and full rules for giving into his corruption and following the dark road to becoming an undead lich are presented for those who crave power and immortality above all else. While the campaign presents many new threats against which wizards and their warbands must test themselves, including an expanded bestiary, it also offers additional resources, such as new henchmen that can be recruited and unique magical treasures that can spell the difference between survival and oblivion.
