Customer Reviews

One of the best books I ever read.

I first read this book when I was eight, and, given that I liked fantasy at the time, it became my favorite book. I read it until my faithful copy fell apart, but by then, I had been able to beat it several times. If you like either fantasy or role-playing games, I strongly recommend that you read this book, for you will appriciate fantasy a lot more.

Castle Death is a race to obtain one of the greatest artifacts in the World of Lone Wolf-a lorestone, particularly the Lorestone Of Herdos, which is held by the vile Zahda. Within the adventure, YOU are Lone Wolf and journey into the Kazan-Oud, or Castle Death, and are opposition to many bizzarr and dangerous creatures, and end up being imprisoned yourself! Upon escape from evil's tight clutches, you find the lorestone and Zahda himself-to find out what happens, get the book!

An average book, with good qualities.

The second book of the Magnakai and the seventh in the incredible international bestselling roleplaying series, Castle Death takes you to the forbidden Isle of Khor, upon which Kazan-Oud, Castle Death, stands. For many centuries this terrible fortress has been the abode of a powerful sorcerer called Zahda, and the Magicians of Dessi, a realm of exotic creatures and sprawling jungles, can only hope to contain Zahda's growing power. This would hold no real importance to your quest for the seven Lorestones except for one fact: the Lorestone of Herdos was captured by the forces of evil upon the defeat of its creator and carried to Kazan-Oud, where Zahda coupled it with its foul twin, the Doomstone of Naaros. From this accursed gem Zahda draws all of his power, and as long as the Doomstone exists you will be unable to take the Lorestone without great physical harm. The Elder Magi have granted you safe passage to Castle Death, but after you have passed through the great doors of the citadel they can do no more...for a hundred of the greatest warriors of Dessi and beyond have entered Kazan-Oud-and none of them have returned..
