Synopsis

On the eve of his graduation from New Salem High, Thomas Scargen awakens from an all-too-real nightmare depicting his father’s mysterious disappearance. Before the boy can regain his composure and slack back into his familiar world of artifs and hologames, Thomas is torn away from his home and hastily ushered into a secret world of magic. He quickly begins to discover his magical potential and grasp his manifesting abilities, but he lacks perhaps the most important component: control. Yareli Chula, Spirit Summoner and member of The Council of Mages, has been dispatched to recover the boy and bring him to The Council. There he can find the discipline he needs and the answers he seeks, but getting him there alive will be anything but easy. Yareli is not the only one searching for the Scargen boy. Along his journey, Thomas will ride atop a teleport dragon, duel a High Demon of the Depths, run with the Lions of Sirati, outfox a spirit ghost, race a vampire, and quote Shakespeare with a whiskey-swilling werewolf—all in the hope of discovering the truth about his father. This quest will be fraught with darkness and a malevolence far more unyielding than anything Thomas has come across in his fantasy books. Armed with his newly realized powers and his unlikely companions, Thomas Scargen will have to face this pervasive evil without being entirely consumed by The Shadow of the Gauntlet.

À propos de l'auteur

Casey Caracciolo has been creating fantastical worlds and characters since he was a child growing up in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. His active imagination coupled with his thirst for dynamic storytelling drove Caracciolo over the years to become a lover of all things geek. This love found a purpose in the fall of 2007, when Caracciolo began developing the concept for the Scargen series. In this series, Caracciolo wanted to create a world that seamlessly blended magic and technology. This futuristic world serves as the backdrop for the coming-of-age adventures of Thomas Scargen. Casey has spent the last six years working on The Shadow of the Gauntlet, the first installment of the Scargen series. The Shadow of the Gauntlet is Casey’s first novel and was published in 2013 by Roundstone Publishing. He is currently working on The Dragon Within, the second book in the Scargen series. When not writing, Casey is a bartender at Triumph Brewing Company in New Hope, Pennsylvania. He lives in Lambertville, New Jersey, with his wife, Christine, and their cat, Stella.
