Four thrilling tales of treachery and high adventure set in the Lastlands of Magnamund.

Here in the north-east quarter of the world of Lone Wolf, the fate of man has long been determined by ancient magics, cold steel, and the cruel legacies of the Dark God Naar - the master of all evil.

Now for the first time, four of the most exciting episodes of Magnamund’s history are recounted by those who know this dangerous world best: Viveka, who tells of learning to become the ruthless assassin she is today; Lone Wolf, on the quest for priceless Kai treasure; Banedon, telling of a skill-honing encounter; and Carag, revealing how Gnaag really seized power from all the other Darklords.

About the author

Joe Dever

226 books170 followers
Joe Dever was an award-winning British fantasist and game designer. Originally a musician, Dever became the first British winner of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Championship of America in 1982.

He created the fictional world of Magnamund as a setting for his Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. In 1984 he released the first book of the Lone Wolf series of young-adult gamebooks, and the series has since sold over 10.2 million copies worldwide. He experienced difficulty with his publishers as the game books market began to contract in 1995, until publication ceased in 1998 before the final four books (numbers 29-32) were released. Since 2003, however, the series has enjoyed a strong revival of interest in France, Italy, and Spain following the re-release of the gamebook series in these countries.

From 1996 onwards, Dever was involved in the production of several successful computer and console games. He also contributed to a Dungeons & Dragons-style role playing game for Lone Wolf published by Mongoose Publishing (UK) in 2004. Currently he is Lead Designer of a Lone Wolf computer game, and he is writing the final books in the Lone Wolf series. No official publication schedule exists for these works.
