Set in the England of Elizabeth I, "The Gauntlet" features Kit Marlowe as a newly
created vampire and Gillian Urswick as a witch with a penchant for highway robbery.
That hobby had landed her in trouble with the Silver Circle, the
self-appointed guardians of the magical community. They didn't like thieves,
particularly not when they were also members of the Druid covens that had been
nothing but thorns in the Circle’s side. That resulted in Gillian having a date
with a noose and only Marlowe having a chance of breaking her out of the
Circle's high security prison in time.
Note:
"The Gauntlet" is the companion story to "The Queen's
Witch." Both shorts are now available for free as ebooks on this
website (see the freebies link above) or in paperback as part of The Cassandra Palmer Collection available from Amazon.
