Description
Lone Wolf Gamebook Book 7
The classic role-playing adventure game
You are the warrior, Lone Wolf, last of the Kai Masters of Sommerlund and sole survivor of the massacre that destroyed your kinsmen during a bitter war with your age-old enemies the Darklords of Helgedad. You have given your solemn pledge to restore the Kai to their former glory, ensuring the security of your land in the years to come.
Diligent study of the tome called The Book of the Magnakai has enabled you to master only three of the ten Magnakai Disciplines. Now, you must fulfil your pledge by completing the quest first undertaken by Sun Eagle over one thousand years ago. It is a quest that will take you deep into Castle Death – a dangerous journey not completed successfully since the time of the Sun Eagle.
Somewhere deep within CASTLE DEATH, lies a key to the wisdom of your ancestors. Will you find this key, or will you, like all who have entered before you, succumb to the terror that stalks the dungeons of this nightmare fortress?
Castle Death is the seventh book in the LONE WOLF series – a unique interactive fantasy series. Each episode can be played separately or combined to create a continuous role-playing epic.
What is a gamebook?
A gamebook is an interactive novel – allowing the reader to participate in a story where you are the hero.
The story branches along different paths using numbered paragraphs called sections.
At the end of each section, you are given a choice. For example –
‘If you wish to fight, turn to section X’.
‘If you wish to flee, turn instead to section XX’.
Your choices determine the tale. Each book can be played multiple times, and new paths charted.
Unlike a Role Playing Game, Lone Wolf can be played alone, any time, anywhere, without dice, tools, or paper. In place of a die, the books provide a random number chart, plus handy character sheets for tracking abilities and equipment.
Lone Wolf, set in the fantasy world of Magnamund, follows the adventures of the lone survivor of an ancient caste of warrior monks – the Kai Lords, sworn protectors of the realm of Sommerlund and masters of many natural & supernatural abilities.
This campaign of adventure is comprised of five ‘series’. And each series contains a complete storyline.
The Kai Series
The first five books chart Lone Wolf’s efforts to thwart the invasion of his homeland and bring Vonotar, the traitor responsible for the death of the Kai Order, to justice.
The Magnakai Series
Books 6-12 cover several years of high adventure. The young Lone Wolf becomes a Kai Master but struggles to understand & control his abilities. To train a new order he must follow the path of Sun Eagle, the first of all the Kai Lords, creator of the Book of the Magnakai on a quest for seven divine artefacts – the Lorestones of Nyxator – hidden in terrible places like the hellish Danarg Swamp and the sunken city of Zaaryx. His quest is hindered by the rise of a new Archlord of the Darklands.
