Description

A memory comes to the Dark Man. It is a painful memory, of a time before the Shadow Masters. The Dark Man remembers Astrid - the girl he loved - and the night in the forest when the Shadow Masters took her from him. Now, it is Dark Man's duty to stop the Shadow Masters, but can he forget Astrid?

This book is part of the Dark Man Series, a range of books for emergent teen and adult readers. With only a limited vocabulary, these gritty and mysterious books pull readers into the tense storyline. The sinister atmosphere and strong black-and-white illustrations ensure that the book appeals to older readers and isn't patronising. This is one of the higher level stories in the Dark Man series, offering a degree of progression for more able readers.
