Description
The classic role-playing adventure game
The Zakhan of Vassagonia, the imperial ruler of the huge desert empire south of the Lastlands, has sent his most trusted envoy to seek a treaty of peace between your two countries, and the king has asked that you sign the treaty on behalf of Sommerlund. But hopes are shattered upon your arrival at Barrakeesh – a city full of treachery and death.
In SHADOW ON THE SAND you are the quarry of a sinister foe, determined to eliminate you at all costs. Survive, and your adventure takes you on a quest for a long-lost Sommlending treasure – a treasure that contains the secret of your destiny.
SHADOW ON THE SAND is the fifth 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.
