The Darksmith Legacy

The Darksmith Legacy was a ten-book box set series of novels designed by Glen Bird, featuring the Tenth Doctor. It was published by BBC Children's Books and supported by an interactive website.

This ten-book series followed the Doctor on his exciting journey to discover the origins of the so-called Eternity Crystal and the powerful artisans who created it - the Darksmiths. The books had interactive elements. Readers had the option to go to the tie-in website to add points to a tally of points, so as to access additional content.

The interactive website supporting The Darksmith Legacy encouraged readers to;
 * Register, and become part of a community, and to score points for the completion of THE QUEST through puzzles and tasks.(Registered users were also included in a draw for an end of series party invite.)
 * Complete the Quest - through the completion of the missions additional features (like computer wallpapers) are unlocked.
 * Discover more about the books in the series and the authors (profile, trivia, their writing, favourite monster and favourite Doctor).
 * Learn from the educational content that appears on the TARDIS DATA BANKS (some of which must be retained in order to complete the Quest).

Readers of the BBC's Doctor Who Adventures magazine were encouraged to get involved in the Quest through regular previews of each new release and special codes that unlocked additional exclusive wallpapers at the website.
