Down the nights and down the days, down the arches of the years, down the labyrinthine ways, hear the call, the call of the hounds of history. Masterfully woven throughout Lee Allred's works are historical events, places, and people, echoing back through the labyrinthine arches of the years. Here find offers you can't refuse, changed allegiances, unquiet ghosts, vampires in redrock deserts, lake monsters, fell beings that plot and scheme with royalty, golems of clay, elder gods and unspeakable horrors—both slumbering and awake—and those brave souls that stand between the darkness and the light, protecting those unable to protect themselves. Follow the echoing of the hounds into this collection of tales, penned by a master of the imagination.
