Description
Once upon a time, fairy tales had happy endings, but you'll need more than luck to make it through this interactive story in one piece.
Your father, King Dorian, is on his deathbed and has given you and your twin brother a quest to determine who will wear his crown. Whoever can defeat five villains in the Wild Woods and return to the castle will become the next ruler of Vallorum.
Prince Keaton has spent his life preparing for this moment, training with weapons and developing his athleticism, while you have been content with devouring books in the library. To even things out, you have been gifted a bloodthirsty talking blade and a book of arcane knowledge, but it's up to you to prove that you have a backbone.
Once you leave the castle, you'll face monsters, magic, murder, and mayhem. Be careful who you trust and make sure to navigate obstacles wisely. Keaton will do whatever it takes to win the crown and control the kingdom. You cannot allow him that victory.
MORE THAN TWO DOZEN WAYS TO DIE.

Mark is from a small city just east of Los Angeles where he grew up listening to heavy metal and reading Stephen King novels and short stories. He still lives not far from there with his wife, two children, five cats, and one demon. After graduating with a BA in Sociology from Brown University, he spent seven years boxing and fighting Mixed Martial Arts.When Mark's not writing you can find him doing yoga and jiu-jitsu with his family or sitting for over one hundred hours of tattoos. Lately he has also been teaching himself guitar, bass, and German as a way to help his brain recover from TBI's after years of fighting and neck injuries.Mark lists Chuck Palahniuk and Stephen King as the authors who most influence his own writing. He attests that attending Tom Spanbauer's Dangerous Writing workshop marked the turning point in his career.
