This issue features the module 'Owner of a Lonely Heart'; this will be focus of the review. As with any of the eZiine modules, this should take the Fated one session to finish. As such, the eZine modules are fantastic sources of adventure for demo sessions, gaming clubs, and even pick-up games.
'Owner of a Lonely Heart' is a Malifaux-themed love story, as the Fated attempt to reunite a smitten gentleman with his paramour. Along the way, the Fated meet a rival for the lady's affections, plenty of ne'er-to-do-wells wishing them harm, and some of the most gruesome murders the city has seen since last Thursday. So - love, battle, a race against rivals, and Things That Should Not Be - a perfect romantic interlude for your 'Through the Breach' chronicle.
The characters are well-written, and easy to portray. They have enough personality that they will provide for memorable encounters, and their clear motivations support character decision-making. The 'twist in the tale' that is provided gives a surprise, and a satisfactory conclusion.
