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.
The fifth episode in a unique interactive series of 32 books.
'A contemporary creation of Tolkienian proportions - but you get to be the hero. Lost myself in it as a child, losing myself in it again as I read with my own kids. A unique achievement'
'Joe Dever has constructed a world so detailed and interesting that I've come to consider his work one of the cornerstones of the fantasy genre.'
'Simply part of so many people's lives...It reminds me of mornings, afternoons, nights, living in a strange, magic world ready to be discovered. For Sommerlund, the Kai!'
Lone Wolf is based on the adventure gamebooks created by Joe Dever (1956-2016), published between 1984 and the present. A major contribution to the fantasy culture of the 80s, they popularised and inspired the choose-your-own-adventure style of books. Unlike any other gamebook series, Lone Wolf is one continuous epic narrative. To date there are over 30 books in the Lone Wolf series.
