Running The Gauntlet - Ken Hughes

. .

Résumé :
Too late to let go Buried weapons of magic. A killer only they can stand against. Or does removing them unleash something worse? Colin and his family guarded and managed the town's historical house for years... until a thief with wall-shattering claws came tearing it apart in search of more power. Someone has to stop him. Colin hunts for the truth behind that history, and the key to wielding a strange, shapeshifting gauntlet-against an enemy that appears without warning to kill anyone in the way of his power. Someone has to stop him. But who is Colin saving from who? The sister whose disappearance still haunts him... The detective he's drawn to, and not only because she knows the case all too well... His old friends who have their own ties to the magic... Or the truth behind the whole town? Which one is the real threat, and who is the next target? Someone has to stop him. And Colin has to try - whatever the cost may be. Running the Gauntlet is the first book of an exciting new urban fantasy series. If you like thrilling action, back-alley mystery, and Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, this is the book to grab....
