Publisher's summary

In the fifth novel in the New York Times bestselling Iron Druid Chronicles, two-thousand-year-old Druid Atticus O’Sullivan will at last bind a new Druid to protect the earth—but first he must go toe-to-toe with the Roman god Bacchus, the Norse pantheon, and an ancient vampire, all hell-bent on ensuring his demise.

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

The downside to faking your own death is that people tend to get upset when they find out they’ve been had. In Atticus O’Sullivan’s case, they’re upset enough to come after him to make sure he dies for real this time. Yet he can’t remain in hiding anymore: He has to bind his apprentice, Granuaile, to the earth so that she can become the first new Druid in centuries.

But the Roman god Bacchus wants mortal revenge for a slight against him, and he proceeds to act on the principle that Atticus should hate his life until it can be ended. Members of the Norse pantheon aren’t particularly pleased with Atticus either—especially one who had languished in darkness, slowly going mad, and is now free to work his mischief again.

On top of that, an ancient vampire, who’d like to remove Atticus and Granuaile as threats to his kind, is working on his own plan for their destruction.

Forced to work at the base of Mount Olympus, Atticus and Granuaile must survive the three-month process of her binding and escape the many traps set for them. It’s fortunate that they have Oberon the Irish Wolfhound on their side—but is one good dog going to be enough to see them through it?

Critic reviews

"It may be possible that Hearne and Atticus are the logical heir to Butcher and Dresden." (SFFWorld)

“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)

Great entry in an awesome series!

This is a great book. The story picks up several years after the last one, at the end of Granuaile's apprenticeship. It ends with a great cliffhanger after lots of shenanigans from various supernatural beings. The performance is excellent, especially the dog. I recommend it highly!

Gonna table the rest of the series for now.

What about Luke Daniels’s performance did you like?

Luke Daniels performance is great

Any additional comments?

Irish dog, Irish gods, Irish girlfriend, Irish wedding, WE GET IT, WE FUCKING GET IT.

and this is the fourth book with loki and it continues to go unresolved why does he continue to focus on loki when there are hundreds of other gods and super natural beings that he could be going through

Great series!

This is one of my favorite series. Thus far narration is awesome and Oberon is hilarious in this book. lots of laughs and adventures. Awesome

Can't get enough!

Man, I love this series! I love that it doesn't' take itself too seriously. There is just enough comedy to keep things moving, and lightens up the plot. A lot going on, and a fast moving story. The world that Hearne has created is so intriguing and fun! Luke Daniels is a fantastic narrator and adds to the enjoyment of this series. Can't wait to get to the next one!

Awsome Urban Fantasy

I love the characters. Oberon is awsome and the humor that is interjected is a big plus. The fact the main character is flawed and makes his own problems and is not always reacting to outside forces that are attacking for some unknown reasone is refreshing.

Right along the story.

It was a little different as in that it seemed like another section in the life story more than its own adventure. It was its own adventure though . Maybe I was hoping for more. The idea was good. . I still gave it a 5 star rating though. I was not unsatisfied . Its been too long between books for me and I got into some other worlds. Luke Daniels still tells it great.Kevin still planned it well. Read it . Tell em Ronnie sent you.

Still delivers

Just listen....just do it and do it soon because you'll be very happy you did.

Fun little story about the old ways

Would you consider the audio edition of Trapped to be better than the print version?

Luke Daniels does a great job in the read of the story.

What does Luke Daniels bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
