Excerpt from The Caverns of Crail: A NovelTo the astonishment of the whole world an unknown man had struck the responsive chord in the great mys tery among rulers, the Sapor, for a conclave was at once ordered to gather at the old capital city of Ecbatana to ratify such a pact. At this conclave, for the first time in the history of that country, the mysterious order of priests avowed itself the church, and the Priests of the Holy Crater and the Priests of Crail stood as one, and Deioces had to make permanent terms with the priests of Crail, whose mysterious caverns were in the mountain walls that surrounded his country, and for aught he knew, or ever did know, furnished a secret passageway into its very heart, the city of Baleria, over which they claimed certain vested rights that they would not surrender. Their claims were supported by the Holy Crater.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
