[edit] Gameplay
Lone Wolf books rely on a combination of thought and luck. Certain statistics such as combat skill and endurance attributes are determined randomly before play (reading). The player is then allowed to choose which Kai disciplines or skills he or she possess. This number depends directly on how many books in the series have been completed ("Kai rank"). With each additional book completed, the player chooses one additional Kai discipline. In this first book, the player starts with five disciplines.
[edit] Plot
You play as one of Lone Wolf's Grand Masters. On a visit to the court of Xo-lin, there is news of an invasion force by the Autarch Sejanoz of Bhanar brought to the palace in Pensei. Xo-lin must be rescued and brought to sanctuary in the distant city of Tazhan across the Lissanian Plain.
[edit] Reception
This is the last of Joe Dever's Lone Wolf books to be published. The book is rare and is sold for hundreds of dollars where copies exist. Also, there is a controversy about the existence of 50 extra sections; as most Lone Wolf books have 350 sections and this one only had 300, there is talk that the publishers, knowing that no more books would be released, excised those last pages connecting the book to the next part of the story.
