Adventure awaits in this middle-grade fantasy series that invites young readers to step into the shoes of of the story's hero! Combining elements of table-top roleplaying and pick-your-poison storytelling, a roll of the dice determines whether you'll score a legendary win...or an epic fail.

Set in a classic high-fantasy setting, Seth is last-surviving apprentice of the great wizard Bristleboor. One day, Bristleboor sends Seth on a mission to find an elusive flower that grows in the tunnels under the castle they live in. Aided by an imprisoned imp named Calivore, Seth traverses the tunnels and comes upon monsters to fight and puzzles to solve while learning secrets about himself...and his master. By the end, he and the reader will need to make choices about where and with whom their loyalties lie and what kind of hero they want to become.

In this new adventure series from Nick Eliopulos and featuring art by Ethan M. Aldridge, the reader becomes the character, getting to make their own choices about how the story will unfold. Or do they? Some chapters will present options to choose from while others will ask the reader to roll a six-sided die and let fate decide their path. It's an interactive reading experience like no other that will allow young readers to tap into a Dungeon & Dragons style of storytelling while giving them an early introduction to pick-your-poison gamebooks and table-top roleplaying.
