Author Description

The wild hills of Afghanistan hold many terrors, and he who has lived long enough to grow powerful will be as fearless and stealthy as the sinuous desert wolf in search of prey. Yet there is one thing that strikes dread into the soul of the bravest ruler: the fearful symbol of the Dagger of Three Blades. With this weapon othe Hidden Ones slew the Sultan of Turkey, the Shah of Perseia, the Nizam of Hybderabad--unkillable men, all of them, but dead as dogs for all that. Now the Dagger of Three Blades has appearedin the streets of Kabul, and the Amir of Afghanistan trembles in his silken tents as the inhuman cry of the djinn resounds in the hills.
