Running The Gauntlet

by Ken Hughes

Published 22 January 2021

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 Heritage 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 he 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.

No one man can stop him.

A madman with invisibility armor. A girl clinging to life. Her brother will make any bargain to protect her.

Even Colin mastering his own shapeshifting magic armor hasn’t been enough to keep his sister out of the hospital. Eric’s coming to take her back, with armor that gains power with everyone he kills.

With the police hunting them all, Colin risks everything by trusting a crafty lieutenant who may have his own agenda. But Eric has allies of his own, as he draws closer to the final secret that could make him invincible.

A monster at Colin’s front, and knives at his back. Which way can he turn?


Book 3

Taking Wing

by Ken Hughes

Published 30 August 2021

The killer fights to save a life. The hero could lose it all.

Colin's battle with Eric has left his friends dead, his face scarred, and his allies turning to hunt him down. All that sustains him are his skein armor and his sister, and Eric will ravage the town to imprison her again, all for a hope of healing her.

Two secrets change everything.

One is the truth about the skein magic, that could give Colin the strength to match his unstoppable foe - if he can keep Eric from seizing that too. The other could shatter everything he's fought for even if he wins.

Now Colin gathers his last allies and all the courage he can find, to face a threat that no armor can shield him from.

Who can stop a killer, if the hero's not enough?
