The Copper Gauntlet

The Copper Gauntlet is the second installment in the Magisterium series, continuing the story of Callum Hunt, a boy whose life has been complicated by his admission to a magical school. His father believes him to be evil, and his closest companion is a Chaos-ridden wolf. The narrative deepens as Callum discovers his father's potentially destructive intentions, forcing him back into the magical world. Alongside his friends, Aaron and Tamara, Callum embarks on a perilous search for the stolen Alkahest, a powerful copper gauntlet. This book is ideal for readers aged 8-11, offering a fast-paced adventure filled with magic, mystery, and themes of identity, friendship, and the blurred lines between good and evil. Parents should be aware of themes of perceived evil and danger, but these are handled within a middle-grade context, making it a good choice for discussions about self-worth and trust.

Callum Hunt's life has been difficult ever since he was admitted to the Magisterium, since his father suspects him of being evil, and his closest companion is a Chaos-ridden wolf--but when he discovers that his father may be trying to destroy both him and Havoc, he escapes back to the magical world and he and his friends Aaron and Tamara, become involved in the search for the stolen Alkahest, a copper gauntlet with dangerous powers.
