Overview

Donovan DeChance is a practicing mage, book collector, private investigator, and much more. When asked to follow in secret as a hot-headed group of young vampires set out on a 'blood quest' to kill the ancient who created the young vampire Kali against her will, he learns that - as usual - there is a lot more to the story than meets the eye. Through the juke joints of Beale Street in Memphis, to the depths of The Great Dismal Swamp, Donovan and his lover and partner, Amethyst, find themselves drawn along on one of the strangest quests in their long, enigmatic lives as they delve into the world of the undead, the magic of The Blues, and the very heart of alchemy both to protect their young, vampiric charges - and to prevent an ancient evil from destroying the balance of power in the universe.

This novel directly crosses over to the original series O.C.L.T. - where Donovan is a sometimes consultant. It features appearances by Geoffrey Bullfinch and Rebecca York, O.C.L.T. agents, as well as Old Mill, North Carolina's own Cletus J. Diggs. Drawing the threads of several of his worlds into one carefully woven tapestry, David Niall Wilson has penned a tale that will appeal to fans of The DeChance Chronicles, O.C.L.T., Cletus J. Diggs, and several other locations and characters from the various worlds he has created.

The Books of the DeChance Chronicles read well as stand-alone novels, but are all part of the bigger series, beginning with the novels Heart of a Dragon and Vintage Soul, and continuing in the long novella, My Soul to Keep, which tells the origin of Donovan's power, and helps to explain his drive to maintain the world's balance of power.

The O.C.L.T. series includes the novels The Parting - which takes place just before the organization is created, and features Rebecca York and Mack Macklemore in a battle against ancient magic and terrorists, Incursion - by Aaron Rosenberg - which builds on the characterization of the leader of the O.C.L.T. - RC Hayes, and helps establish the organization's base of operations, and introduces Isabella Ferrara, Italian monster hunter. These first two novels are accompanied by the novellas Brought to Light, and The Temple of Camazotz, all available for your eReader, and coming soon in print and unabridged audio.

If you enjoy Kali's Tale, You will also enjoy The Preacher's Marsh, The Not Quite Right Reverend Cletus J. Diggs & The Currently Accepted Habits of Nature, and the other books in both The DeChance Chronicles and O.C.L.T. series for more adventures with the characters and their worlds.

INCLUDED IN THIS BOOK - CHAPTER ONE OF HALLOWED GROUND - written with Steven Savile - international bestselling author of SILVER

    Excellent Reading, I couldn't put it down.

    The Donovan Chronicles seem to get better with each book. The fast paced and well developed plot makes for a very fun reading experience. I only wish there were more books in this series! Kali's Tale is a great value. If you want bang for your buck, these books are tops! I have to go now, I just purchased "Hallowed Ground" also written by David Niall Wilson, and it's time to start reading!
