The Gauntlet

by Michael Diack

For generations, knights from the city of Harwell have bravely entered The Gauntlet: never to be seen again.

Follow Ash, the latest knight to be selected for this most deadly of missions. Confronted with a land strewn with the corpses of those who entered before him and the malicious beasts that stripped them of their lives, Ash must use every drop of his strength and knowledge to survive.

However, he is not alone in his mission to defeat the dark forces that lie inside The Gauntlet. Others also seek to complete The Gauntlet's trials, discover its end and hope to learn the truth behind its existence.

Those that succeed will be empowered beyond their wildest imagination. Those that fail... must die.

About the author

Hi,

Welcome to my author page. My debut novel, 'The Super Spud Trilogy', was released in April 2012. It's about magical crisp packets with personalities determined by their flavouring - a little quirky and very satirical.

I enjoy sailing, fantasy football, skiing,table tennis, squash and playing computer/board games with my friend - especially Risk and Catan.

I studied geology at Manchester University, as I always wanted to be a volcanologist like Pierce Brosnan in Dante's Peak. But I'm currently working in Denmark.

In July 2013 I released 'Shadows in the Sand', the first part of my fantasy series Empyria and I concluded it with part 2, 'The Light and The Glass' later in the year.

In January 2015, I released 'The Secret Lives of Bicycles' - a children's novel suitable for big adults also, which features magical bicycles going on exciting adventures.

I will happily interact with readers to discuss the Super Spuds or Empyria. Find me on Twitter (@michaeljdiack), or Facebook. Thanks!
