Synopsis: The Shadowthorn

An old wives' tale about an unstoppable criminal comes to life in the small town of Thellange, where a desperate and disorganised Watch, used to the lack of crime in the town, have issues getting themselves to work together to stop the threat.

And as if that wasn't enough, the Shadowthorn brings half a hundred friends along to help her in her quest to overwhelm the town and its Watch into submission, whereupon she plans to move onto other towns, bringing the old myth to life. Even with guards flocking in from all over the region, she doesn't back down, only growing stronger with experience. It seems that the only way to bring her down is to persuade the twisted minds within the guild to spill information on their leader, a task just as impossible.
