The Hound of Rowan opens Henry H. Neff's Tapestry series with Max McDaniels, a twelve-year-old who discovers a strange Celtic tapestry in a museum's secret room and finds a letter afterward directing him to Rowan Academy, a hidden school for gifted children like him. The series follows Max's education and the wider magical conflicts Rowan is drawn into across The Second Siege, The Fiend and the Forge, and The Maelstrom. Neff both wrote and illustrated the series.
