Mystery of the Ancients
In a desolate future world, a young guardian searches for a way to save a gravely ill sister while protecting a younger brother from the dangers left behind by the Red Death cult and a devastating raid. This fantasy adventure is presented as a branching gamebook: readers choose actions, face enchanted castles, fearsome monsters, and other hazards, and follow the consequences of each decision. No role-playing game experience is required.
