Legion of the Necromancer is a solo gamebook in the classic Fighting Fantasy choose-your-path mould, where you read, roll and decide your fate through a branching adventure.

Set in the dark fantasy realm of Aelrathia, it pits you against a malevolent necromancer raising an army of the dead while beasts, traps and uneasy allies test your wits and nerve.

It feels like a love letter to Fighting Fantasy - fast, atmospheric, rules-light and replayable - with gothic horror infusing familiar swords-and-sorcery roots. It has 400 references and includes Adventure Sheet and Introduction over 150 pages.

Expect tight, punchy sections, meaningful choices, secret checks and multiple endings. Encounters range from haunted forests and abandoned mines to the necromancer’s black tower, with full-page art that leans into mood and menace. Designed for quick sessions or long evenings, it rewards curiosity, careful mapping and a few lucky dice rolls.

This is the beautiful A5 Folio Edition with fabric and embossed foil cover

About your quest
A malevolent Necromancer has set up residence in the land of Aelrathia and his evil is spreading across your homeland. While destructive forces turn friend against friend and macabre beasts roam the land, his solitary goal is to raise a vast army of the dead and enslave the land once and for all.

Only YOU can stop him.

You’ll battle terrifying beasts, gather dark secrets and make choices that could lead to personal glory or the doom of your homeland.
