Written by HL Truslove | Illustrated by Mizer

Magnamund is changing. A Renaissance of invention dawns—yet shadows rise with it.

You are Leandra Redalion: exile, outcast, genius. Once, your creations lifted Magnamund into a new age—until they were stolen by the Darklords and turned into weapons of terror. Now war returns, and a ruthless Drakkarim warlord threatens to bring ruin to your homeland.

In FORGE OF SHADOWS, your journey begins in the hidden wastes of Karkaste. Deep in the mountains lies your family’s last secret—a lost laboratory, a buried invention, a final chance at redemption. Can you reclaim your legacy without destroying all you love? Or will your genius once again plunge the world into darkness?

CHRONICLES OF MAGNAMUND is a bold new series of genre-blending standalone adventures from across the Lone Wolf universe—each one offering a new hero, a fresh setting, and a different flavour of gamebook storytelling—all playable without prior knowledge of the main series.

—A steampunk-fantasy war story about redemption, legacy, and the cost of genius.
—Play as Leandra Redalion—haunted by her past and hunted for her brilliance.
—Gain access to the special ability “Discerning Eye,” which enhances adaptability in unfamiliar situations and provides unique insight in combat and puzzle-solving.
—Discover lost machines, wield forgotten technology, and unlock powerful relics in a ruined land.
—Experience multiple outcomes—one of the first Lone Wolf books to feature multiple endings, with major events branching depending on your choices.
—Features over 35 dramatic new illustrations by acclaimed dark-fantasy artist Mizer.
