Le Talisman de la Mort and La Nuit du Loup-Garou sont ici!

The latest Fighting Fantasy gamebooks to be released by Gallimard Jeunesses in the new format are Talisman of Death and Howl of the Werewolf.


Talisman of Death ~ Le Talisman de la Mort

The once peaceful world of Orb is facing a terrible danger. Evil forces are at work to subject it to the terrible domination of the god of Death. Only YOU can prevent the catastrophe from happening. Your mission: to thwart the pitfalls and intrigues that await you in the city of Greyguilds and destroy the Talisman of Death before the lackeys of the Fleshless King destroy you. But be careful, because time is running out!


Howl of the Werewolf ~ La Nuit du Loup-Garou

You would have to be crazy to cross the borders of the windswept, fog-shrouded, and soul-haunted principality of Lupravia. And yet, that is what YOU must do. A monstrous wolf has cruelly bitten you and you are now struck by a terrible curse. Fail in this new adventure and the beast that now lies dormant within you will not be able to resist the call of the Werewolf. You have until the next full moon!

Bonus: The Archives of the Old World will reveal to you everything a hero worthy of the name must know!
