This article is about novel by Elaine Cunningham. For inquisitors of Halruaa, see Halruaan magehound.
The Magehound, by Elaine Cunningham, is the first book in the Counselors & Kings Trilogy.
“
Some are born with magic. Some without.
Matteo, un-magical counselor to the mighty of Halruaa, has devoted his life to the truth - until he finds that he may have a hidden spark of magic after all. Now, with only a street waif for a companion, he's on the run from the mysterious Cabal. In the dismal Swamp of Akhlaur, Matteo will seek his own truth while battling a creature out of his nightmares.
But something even worse is on his trail: a relentless persecutor of magic. The Magehound.”
