In New York: The Pegleg, readers will find themselves flung back to 1647, when a particular pegleg, a prosthesis with mystical powers, appeared on Manhattan Island. At the time, the island's southern tip was a Dutch trading post called, “New Amsterdam.” In that year, the new Dutch governor, Peter Stuyvesant, stepped ashore and planted his wooden leg, which was covered with bands of silver, firmly on this soil. After Stuyvesant's death, the magical limb lay hidden with him in his family's crypt in the east village, but right before the crypt was permanently sealed, the pegleg vanished and has been missing ever since. Shlep Wallace, an old, semi-retired props master, has accidentally found a secret, lost notebook of the renowned scientist, Nikola Tesla, that could be of vital importance to locate the legendary pegleg. But he needs your help to find it, before it falls into the wrong hands.

In New York: Five Points, readers will find themselves flung back to 1863, when the New York Draft Riots, protesting the new laws passed by Congress to draft men to fight in the American Civil War, reach their peak. Five Points is the epicenter of this battle. Those who neither fight nor succeed in boarding a ship are hiding in cellars, praying in one of the many languages of Five Points. Among the semi-destroyed buildings, a man roams about in the shadows. Covered with a black coat, he could pass totally unobserved if it weren’t for a peculiar tattoo on the back of his hand. He is the last of the insurrectionists but nobody knows it, and his secret will die with him. Or maybe not.
