The Dark Man must once again pit his powers against the evil forces of the Shadow Masters. A document has been found: it has magical powers. In the forest, the Dark Man meets a boy. Can he help find the document? 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.
