Publisher's summary

In the sixth novel in the New York Times bestselling Iron Druid Chronicles, two-thousand-year-old Druid Atticus O’Sullivan finds himself the target of two goddesses of the hunt and a trickster god determined to unleash the apocalypse.

“[Kevin] Hearne is a terrific storyteller with a great snarky wit. . . . Neil Gaiman’s American Gods meets Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden.”—SFFWorld

For someone who’s been alive for two thousand years, Atticus O’Sullivan is a pretty fast runner. Good thing, because he’s being chased by not one but two goddesses of the hunt—Artemis and Diana—for messing with one of their own. Dodging their slings and arrows, Atticus, Granuaile, and his wolfhound, Oberon, are making a mad dash across modern-day Europe to seek help from a friend of the Tuatha Dé Danann. His usual magical option of shifting planes is blocked, so instead of playing hide-and-seek, the game plan is . . . run like hell.

Crashing the pantheon marathon is the Norse god Loki. Killing Atticus is the only loose end he needs to tie up before unleashing Ragnarok—AKA the Apocalypse. Atticus and Granuaile have to outfox the Olympians and contain the god of mischief if they want to go on living—and still have a world to live in.

Critic reviews

“Celtic mythology and an ancient Druid with modern attitude mix it up in the Arizona desert in this witty new fantasy series.” (Kelly Meding, author of Chimera)

“A page-turning and often laugh-out-loud funny caper through a mix of the modern and the mythic.” (Ari Marmell, author of The Warlord’s Legacy)

“Kevin Hearne breathes new life into old myths, creating a world both eerily familiar and startlingly original.” (Nicole Peeler, author of Tempest Rising)

the gods

I love all of the action with all the different gods in this book & the previous books. I was a huge mythology nerd in school, so Hearne's breathing life into the pantheon of gods...giving each one of them personality was absolutely genius. Love it.

Any additional comments?

Druid is the new Black...

I love this series. I have had a really great time listening to the story develop and this last installment is just as good as the first. The characters and story line have fully developed and the action is really quite enthralling. Often with fantasy books they are just brain candy and that's it, however you might find that you actually learn a few tidbits of history. I find that with this series the author mixes Irish Faerie Lore, Norse Mythology, Roman/Greek Pantheon and other realms quite believably without going too far off the rails as far as written history and lore are concerned. This helps with the suspension of disbelief and creates a rich and interesting mindscape that any listener can escape to. I highly recommend starting at the beginning of the series so that the book is understandable, however the author does keep the reader aprised of previous events so one could read this without the others.
