Deep beneath the earth, the dragon is rising! Quest into mysterious underground caverns and forests to learn magical secrets, draw strength from friends and family, secure alliances that can save your home, and carry on the heroic legacy of Stronghold!

Stronghold: Caverns of Sorcery is an interactive fantasy novel by Amy Griswold, where your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based—380,000 words and hundreds of choices—without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

You’re the grandchild of your town’s legendary heroic leader, and everyone’s always expected great things from you. So when you began to study sorcery, you intended to prove them all right—until your magical experiments disturbed a sleeping dragon in the depths of the mountain caves. Now you’ll have to discover something even more powerful if you’re going to save your town and help your family’s legacy endure for generations to come.

Delve deep into ancient caverns to find more fuel for your sorcery—along with unexpected allies and places for secure fortified camps. But there are also fragile wonders beneath the earth: will your efforts to protect your town threaten the dryads and treasures in the caverns? Learn mystic lore to strengthen your fight against the dragon—alchemy, magic, or even the knot-work enchantments of goblins and spiders—or raise an army from among your loyal townsfolk and allies. Or maybe, just maybe, you can bargain with the dragon—if you dare.
