Publisher's Synopsis
There are things unseen in the world of men. Uncanny horrors stalk us from the shadows. Fortunately for the children of men, there is one who protects us from the darkness that we cannot see. Every year with the death of summer, a remnant of humanity's strangest dreamings awakens: The Herald of Autumn. Wherever he wanders, hungry hounds ghost along with him and the frigid wind of the hallows follows close behind. He hunts the creatures that linger in shadows, protecting mankind from the weirding and the nameless. This Autumn, however, is different from those in the past. When the Herald awakens to the taunting of the mysterious and elusive Old Man Coyote, he is immediately thrown into a battle for his very existence. As he matches wits against a shaman from another age, he learns sinister truths of an ancient abomination and of darkness that lurks behind the world. Most importantly, he learns of the end of all things.
