Gauntlet Island

Publisher's blurb:

"Did you find what you were looking for, my friend?"

Harsh and sturdy voice of my half-orc companion was gone. His mouth was moving, saying the words, but the silky perfection of celestial multichord melody was twirling around my mind. He was floating half-foot mid-air, a withered gauntlet swallowed his right hand and his eyes burning white. The entity that spoke through him was somehow merciful to us, perhaps after it satiated its hunger for slaughter on our party.
