A gripping tale set in the world of the Dryad's Crown.
Bren Caius is a living legend, the greatest warrior of her age. But much of her legacy is a lie, fabricated by those in desperate need of a champion.
As high general of Amon, Bren has grown weary of commanding a dwindling army against the gnoll warlord Kret Bonebreaker and his fearsome legion. Amidst the bloodshed, she must lead her soldiers to victory while contending with a disloyal advisor, a mysterious prophet, the cruel ambitions of nobles, and ghosts from her past.
The fate of Amon rests upon a single epic battle—one of fire, steel, and magic. Can Bren stand against the darkness and become the hero she is expected to be?
Based on Shakespeare's Henry V, War of the Hounds is the story of Bren's greatest triumph and her most heartbreaking failure.
