The Dark Man dreams of his past - and comes to understand the desperate struggle against the Shadow Masters.

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 shorter stories in the series, focusing on the top 100 frequency words.
