The Gauntlet and Kismet tell the tale of a couple, separated by circumstances and fate yet bound by a powerful connection, as they each embark on perilous journeys—one traveling west by land, the other by sea. From treacherous landscapes to life-threatening dangers, each will fight to reunite with the other in a world where fortune and fate are as unpredictable as the horizon itself.

“Rarely does a debut author deliver such profound emotional depth, vivid historical storytelling, and character journeys that feel as lived-in and true as J. James Wheeling’s beautifully intertwined novels—Gantlet and Kismet left me breathless.”
