The extraordinary debut novel that launched Tad Williams' career, Tailchaser's Song is an epic of high fantasy and grand adventure, where gods walk amongst their people and where even very small creatures can change the world.

Weaving through the tall grasses of this world is Tailchaser, a young ginger tomcat with a good heart and a restless spirit. When his friend Hushpad vanishes, Tailchaser sets out to find her. His journey will take him further than he ever thought possibleβ€”from the court of the Firstwalkers, through the cities of M'an, and into the hellish depths of the earth itself, where an unimaginable horror awaits.
