The city of Westcrown is perched on the edge of chaos, its nobility cowering and the city guard in turmoil as the Council of Thieves, now in the control of ambitious and dangerous new leaders, makes its bid for control. News of the disorder in the city has reached the Chelish capital city, and an armed force is said to be gathering to come down to bring order -- if the player characters can't defeat the Council of Thieves and restore order before the Chelish General and his troops arrive, riots will be the least of their problems. Of course, more than mere thieves work for the age-old Council -- for undead and devils and worse stand between the heroes of Westcrown and a brighter future. A Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for character levels 12-14. With support articles, five new monsters in the Pathfinder Bestiary, and the final installment of best-selling author Dave Gross' Pathfinder Journal fiction, this volume ends the Council of Thieves Adventure Path with a bang

Enemies, allies-and temptation-make the ballroom floor as dangerous as pirate raids.

"Time travel, UFOs, mysterious planets, stigmata, rock-throwing poltergeists, huge footprints, bizarre rains of fish and frogs-nearly a century after Charles Fort's Book of the Damned was originally published, the strange phenomenon presented in this book remains largely unexplained by modern science. Through painstaking research and a witty, sarcastic style, Fort captures the imagination while exposing the flaws of popular scientific explanations. Virtually all of his material was compiled and documented from reports published in reputable journals, newspapers and periodicals because he was an avid collector. Charles Fort was somewhat of a recluse who spent most of his spare time researching these strange events and collected these reports from publications sent to him from around the globe. This was the first of a series of books he created on unusual and unexplained events and to this day it remains the most popular. If you agree that truth is often stranger than fiction, then this book is for you"--Taken from Good Reads website.

Think adolescence is hell? You have no idea... Welcome to Dante's Inferno, by way of The Breakfast Club, from the mind of American fiction's most brilliant troublemaker. "Death, like life, is what you make out of it." So says Madison, the whip-tongued 11-year-old narrator of Damned, Chuck Palahniuk's subversive homage to the young adult genre. Madison is abandoned at her Swiss boarding school over Christmas while her parents are off touting their new film projects and adopting more orphans. Over the holidays she dies of a marijuana overdose--and the next thing she knows, she's in Hell. This is the afterlife as only Chuck Palahniuk could imagine it: a twisted inferno inspired by both the most extreme and mundane of human evils, where The English Patient plays on repeat and roaming demons devour sinners limb by limb. However, underneath Madison's sad teenager affect there is still a child struggling to accept not only the events of her dysfunctional life, but also the truth about her death. For Madison, though, a more immediate source of comfort lies in the motley crew of young sinners she meets during her first days in Hell. With the help of Archer, Babette, Leonard, and Patterson, she learns to navigate Hell--and discovers that she'd rather be mortal and deluded and stupid with those she loves than perfect and alone.
