You’re never too old for a little adventure. That premise was the driving force behind the story of TNTDUK. When Mark Tullius approached me and asked if I would be interested in joining the world of Try Not to Die (a hugely popular and sprawling series of author-written Choose Your Own Adventure® style books), there was no hesitation in my answer: “YES!”
Writing the story was a challenge. I’ve never written anything like it before and had no clue how to go about formatting a book that takes the reader through various choices and pathways. Thankfully, Mark’s knowledge and passion for the series made the collaboration easy, and I believe that we have put something together that will appeal to readers of all ages!
Starting at Loch Ness in Scotland, journey down through the UK on a five-day quest to save the world and restore King Arthur to his throne. Test your wits, choose your path, and try not to die!
Here’s the official description:
Try Not to Die: In the UK is an epic, interactive dark fantasy where every choice you make determines whether you live, die—or fail the world entirely.
Your journey begins in the misty highlands of Scotland and stretches across the haunting beauty of the United Kingdom. From the shadowy waters of Loch Ness to the storm-swept cliffs of Tintagel, ancient forces are awakening. Myths are real. Monsters roam. And time is running out.
You’ve been chosen to undertake a quest like no other: uncover long-buried secrets, survive legendary creatures, and help restore King Arthur to his rightful throne before the world is plunged into eternal darkness.
But nothing is easy in this land of legends. With over a dozen deadly outcomes and five unique endings, every decision could be your last. Will you trust the wrong guide? Take the wrong path? Or rise as the hero destiny demands?
Perfect for fans of Goosebumps®, Choose Your Own Adventure®, and readers who crave darker, bloodier tales packed with danger, myth, and moral consequence.
Test your instincts. Defy your fate.
Try Not to Die: In the UK—your adventure begins now.
