Fable Novel to Include Free In-Game Weapon for Fable III

Fable: The Balverine Order An eagle-eyed Amazon shopper noticed that a new Fable novel listed on the bookstore will include a code to unlock a unique weapon in the upcoming Fable III.

There are no images or further details about the item yet, however.

The novel, Fable: The Balverine Order, runs 416 pages and is set to be released on October 5th. The synopsis:

The days of magic and adventure are fading away, giving way to the age of industry and science. As the aged last Hero sits upon the throne of Albion, two friends-the privileged Thomas and his loyal servant, John- set out for the East in search of a legendary beast: the vicious, rarely-seen balverine. But their desire for adventure may be their ultimate undoing-because their quarry has just found them…

The author is Peter David, who wrote a comic mini series based on Halo last year, and has extensive novel and comic book writing credits for franchises including Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek and The Incredible Hulk.

The novel is priced at $9.99 and is available to preorder now.

Fable 3 is scheduled for a USA release on 26th of October 2010 and in Europe on 29 October.
