The Gauntlet and the Burning Blade Summary

The Gauntlet and the Burning Blade by Ian Green

In the second instalment of the Rotstorm series, heroine Flore must continue to fight back against the encroaching children of the storm - but now her daughter Marta is dying, too. Can Flore save her daughter, and her people, from threats familiar and new?

Break the chains. Hold your strength. Burn your foes.

Once a warrior of the Stormguard Commandos, Flore wrought horrors in the rotstorm to protect her people. She did her duty and swore to leave the bloodshed behind. But when her daughter, Marta, was kidnapped, Flore was forced to once again raise her gauntlet against the devils of Ferron to bring her home.

Now Marta is dying from the skein-magic she inherited from her father, and the Protectorate is weakened by the absence of the whitestaffs. The mystical order of healers and sages fled to their island citadel of Riven when strange orbs cut through the night.

Flore and her comrades must race to find a cure for Marta, to find the truth of the whitestaffs' betrayal, and to fight back against the encroaching children of the storm.

Flore has taken up her gauntlets and her sword to keep her people safe - but steel alone might not be enough...
