Publisher's summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Acclaimed author Kevin Hearne makes his hardcover debut with the new novel in his epic urban fantasy series starring the unforgettable Atticus O’Sullivan.

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

For nearly two thousand years, only one Druid has walked the Earth—Atticus O’Sullivan, the Iron Druid, whose sharp wit and sharp sword have kept him alive as he’s been pursued by a pantheon of hostile deities. Now he’s got company.

Atticus’s apprentice Granuaile is at last a full Druid herself. What’s more, Atticus has defrosted an archdruid long ago frozen in time, a father figure (of sorts) who now goes by the modern equivalent of his old Irish name: Owen Kennedy.

And Owen has some catching up to do.

Atticus takes pleasure in the role reversal, as the student is now the teacher. Between busting Atticus’s chops and trying to fathom a cell phone, Owen must also learn English. For Atticus, the jury’s still out on whether the wily old coot will be an asset in the epic battle with Norse god Loki—or merely a pain in the arse.

But Atticus isn’t the only one with daddy issues. Granuaile faces a great challenge: to exorcise a sorcerer’s spirit that is possessing her father in India. Even with the help of the witch Laksha, Granuaile may be facing a crushing defeat.

As the trio of Druids deals with pestilence-spreading demons, bacon-loving yeti, fierce flying foxes, and frenzied Fae, they’re hoping that this time, three’s a charm.

Critic reviews

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

“[The Iron Druid books] are clever, fast-paced and a good escape.”—Boing Boing

“Hearne understands the two main necessities of good fantasy stories: for all the wisecracks and action, he never loses sight of delivering a sense of wonder to his readers, and he understands that magic use always comes with a price. Highly recommended.”—The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

i think this is my favorite book in the series.

loved this book. I have read through the eight books of The Chronicles twice so far and I do think this is my favorite book with the introduction of the Arc Druid

Wonderful story and amazing narration

I believe Luke Daniel's narration really brings the books in this series to another level. I enjoyed the stories when I read them, but I cannot "voice" the characters and cadence as well as Mr Daniels.

The arch druid character is wonderful, Kevin Hearne really explored this world using Owen wonderfully. Truly enjoyed the written word and the lovely voices of this story.

This series is AWESOME!

This is one of my favorite series. Kevin Hearne has a grasp of the reality he writes about like no other. He plays the Gods and puts them into a reality created by man, I think it some how hits the nail on the head. He portrays a reality with enough detail and history to make it more believable. The play on words his whole demeanor of life and the way people see a reality based on their own perceptions and ignore what is really going on around you. Seriously this is a book series that I will listen to over and over and take notes. :) Awesome.

best book series I`ve listened to

I have 150 titles in my library and this series takes the cake....or gravy if you,re Oberon

another one !

great story, loving the whole 1st person account of each character Luke Daniels killing it again!

Good ending to a good series

I binged, listening to this entire series (except novellas)., which should give you some idea how compelling I found them. I knew reckoning was coming, and those things hurt, but I finished the book and series with hope for the future. Nicely done

Best in the series so far

Each book seems to get a little better in terms of story. These aren’t just single fight little yarns anymore. Daniels does a great job with the narration, though Atticus and Granuelle sound similar enough that it takes me a moment to tell the difference sometimes. A second performer for the female voices would be perfect.

Luke Daniels

Great series with the best narrator in the world. He gives every character life.

this series though

I love this series so much. its sooooo good. fun to listen or read. just do it
