Summary[]

From the White Wolf catalog:

We Go Places That No One Else Dares
Saddle up, kid, we're going down. That's right, all the way down — into the Labyrinth. Strap on your armor and get your soulsteel ready, because if we're lucky we're going to hit Spectres the second we walk in there.
If we're not, we'll hit them right about now.
Here's What's Waiting
Take a trip into every wraith's worst nightmare with Doomslayers: Into the Labyrinth. With fiction from noted authors Matthew Costello and Lucy Taylor, Doomslayers is the complete guide to the Labyrinth, its denizens, and those wraiths brave – or foolish – enough to hunt them.
