Today is the US debut for two more books in my Dungeons & Dragons: Endless Quest series. These are pick-a-path books for readers ages 10 and up, and they take place in some of the most famous settings for the world’s most popular tabletop roleplaying game.
The new ones are Escape from Castle Ravenloft and The Mad Mage’s Academy. In Escape from Castle Ravenloft, you are a cleric who’s been captured by the immortal Baron Strahd von Zarovich, and you have to escape his castle before the vampire lord makes you one of his minions. This is much easier said than done.
In The Mad Mage’s Academy, you’re a rogue who’s been hired to steal a spell book from the Mad Mage Halaster himself. To do so, you pose as a young wizard who wants to study under Halaster at his academy, located deep in the heart of the massive dungeon known as Undermountain. Unfortunately, you don’t know any actual magic, so you have to act fast before you’re found out.
You can purchase both books in the US, starting today. I understand they’ll be available in the UK starting on September 19.
In other wild news, all six books will be available as audiobooks early next year. I’m not sure how they’re going to handle the branching paths in the books, but I’m eager to find out!
