Description
Twelve-year-old Farah and her two best friends are pulled into a living, mechanical board game known as The Gauntlet of Blood and Sand—an intricate puzzle world that feels impossible to solve and even harder to escape. As they navigate shifting rules, deadly challenges, and a labyrinth of interlocking mechanisms, they must work together to outthink the game’s diabolical architect and free everyone trapped within, including Farah’s baby brother, Ahmed. Blending fast-paced adventure with brain-teasing problem solving, the story explores courage, friendship, and the resilience it takes to face fear when the stakes are personal. With Karuna Riazi’s vivid, propulsive storytelling and imaginative worldbuilding, this is a high-energy escape tale that turns teamwork and ingenuity into the ultimate keys to survival.
