"This thrilling gamebook plunges you into a story with a difference - one where the hero is YOU. Woken one night by a bang at the door, you creep to the window and see five hooded strangers below. The leader looks up and beckons you down. What do you do? The choice is yours. Open the door, play for time, or escape through the window out back... From this point onwards you are in control of an epic adventure, and your survival depends upon the decisions you make. Which way to run? Which battles to fight? And who to trust? As you race across land, sea and sky, the mysteries of your past are revealed, and it becomes clear that it's not just your fate that hangs in the balance - it's the fate of the entire kingdom. Bringing together a sweeping story, beautifully illustrated picture puzzles and an exciting combat system, this is an adventure that will have you gripped from beginning to end."--Amazon.ca.
