About this ebook
A trio of friends from New York City find themselves trapped inside a mechanical board game that they must dismantle in order to save themselves and generations of other children in this action-packed debut thatâs a steampunk Jumanji with a Middle Eastern flair.
Nothing can prepare you for The GauntletâŠ
It didnât look dangerous, exactly. When twelve-year-old Farah first laid eyes on the old-fashioned board game, she thought it lookedâŠelegant.
It is made of wood, etched with exquisite imagesâa palace with domes and turrets, lattice-work windows that cast eerie shadows, a large spiderâand at the very center of its cover, in broad letters, is written: The Gauntlet of Blood and Sand.
The Gauntlet is more than a game, though. It is the most ancient, the most dangerous kind of magic. It holds worlds inside worlds. And it takes players as prisoners.
