À propos de ce contenu audio
Alfred of St. Ruan's Abbey is a monk and a scholar, a religious man whose vocation is beyond question. But Alfred is also, without a doubt, one of the fair folk, for though he is more than seventy years old by the Abbey's records, he seems to be only a youth.
But Alfred is drawn from the haven of his monastery into his dangerous currents of politics when an ambassador from the kingdom of Rhiyana to Richard Coeur de Leon is wounded and Alfred himself is sent to complete the mission. There he encounters the Hounds of God, who believe that the fair folk have no souls, and must be purged from the Church and from the world.

Like its predecessors, the final chapter in Judith Tarr's The Hound and the Falcon trilogy weaves fantasy and history with stunningly immersive effect. In The Hounds of God Alfred must leave behind the comfort and safety of St. Ruan's Abbey and confront an evil power seeking to eradicate the elf-born. When Alfred's beloved Thea is kidnapped, he ventures forth in search of her, his epic journey taking him from his besieged home of Rhiyana, to the halls of the Vatican, to the Sack of Constantinople. Betraying his three decades of experience on stage and screen, actor James Patrick Cronin brings raw urgency and medieval authenticity to the proceedings, and convincingly portrays Tarr's epic cast of elves, Crusaders, Byzantines, monks, and inquisitors.
