Synopsis

It should have been a simple mission. You were sent to bring back the fabled Eye of the Dragon from the half-submerged ruins of Thalios. But you arrived to find an earlier expedition destroyed, and eerie dwellers of an oceanic realm stalking the ancient avenues. As night falls, you must evade their patrols and link up with the survivors of the expedition. Everything depends on your courage as a Warrior and your skill as a Mage.

This is fantasy adventure with a difference: YOU are the hero. A pencil, an eraser and two dice are all you need to embark on your quest. Success and vast riches - or failure and sudden death – will depend on the decisions you make.

The Eye of the Dragon is part of the classic Golden Dragon Gamebook series.

From School Library Journal:

ea. vol: unpaged. (Golden Dragon Fantasy Gamebooks). Berkley/Pacer. 1986. $2.50. LC number unavailable. Grade 7 Up Two complex but exciting fantasy gamebooks to appeal to the Dungeons and Dragons crowd. You brave the Curse of the Pharaoh as you enter the Lost Pyramid of Kharphut the Mighty seeking its legendary hidden treasures. Or you come to the ruined city of Thalios to search for the fabled magical stone known as the Eye of the Dragon . In either case, you must keep detailed record sheets and sketch maps, and face dozens of hideous monsters using an intricate dice roll combat system. Eerie black-and-white illustrations add to the atmosphere. Readers may have to invest a considerable length of time in these complicated and imaginatively plotted quests, but the adventure quota is well worth the effort.
