Publisher's summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In the fourth novel of the Iron Druid Chronicles, two-thousand-year-old Druid Atticus O’Sullivan must pay his debts to cunning trickster god Coyote, a task that includes battling undead creatures of the night as well as a relentless hound of Hel and the goddess of death who commands it.

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

Cutting a deal with a trickster god rarely goes well for any human brave or foolish enough to try it, but Atticus doesn’t feel like he has a choice. With members of the Norse pantheon out for his blood, he can’t train his apprentice in peace, so he asks Coyote to help him fake his own death. The cost, however, might wind up being every bit as high as if he’d made no deal at all.

There are things hiding in the Arizona desert that don’t want any company, and Coyote makes sure they know Atticus has arrived. And then there's the hound of Hel, Garm, who’s terribly difficult to shake and not at all convinced that Atticus is dead.

Being tricked by a trickster is par for the course. But it’s the betrayal from someone he thought was a friend that shakes Atticus to the core and places his life in jeopardy. The real trick, he discovers, might be surviving his own faked death.

Includes Kevin Hearne’s novella “Two Ravens and One Crow”

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)

“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)

Great series..I suggest that just like the Dresden Files, You listen to them in order. You won't regret it.

great series.

I really enjoy this series, the story flows greatly between books, and it is an amazing story

I LOVE THIS SERIES! KEEPS GETTING BETTER!

What can I say, this is one of the best series Audible has to offer. Each book is better than the last.
The narration is PERFECT! Luke Daniel's performance, as the main character, Atticus, is right on. I swear, Author, Kevin Hearne and Mr. Daniels must be buddies. How else could Mr. Hearne 's wit, humor, and intensity be conveyed with such perfect pitch and play?

I found myself lost in this book. Which is a very nice place to be. :)

Worth the Credit? YES. I can not wait for the next book.

HUMOUR. ACTION. DRUIDISM, AND SEXY.... EVERYTHING. What else can a girl ask for?!!!

AWESOME

the whole series is just awesome, I felt really sorry that I had to finish it in three nights only, can't wait for the next one.

I just love it

One of my favorite authors & voice actors

I love the Iron Druid series and this story finally sees Atticus & Granuelle finish her training. Epic story telling certainly.

Excellent as always

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

Didn't read it first, but I love Luke Daniels's narration, so probably. I couldn't imagine Oberon in any voice but his.

Which character – as performed by Luke Daniels – was your favorite?

Atticus. Perfect blend of pop culture and historical references.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. Hearne's style is very entertaining.

Can’t wait to start the next book.

The story is well written and Luke Daniels does an excellent performance bringing it to life.

hilarious and suspenceful

Any of his books in this series is a great pleasure! I loved the terminology and descriptions of plaves and cultural references .

Magic and amusement

Another fantastic adventure taking place while Atticus cleans up the mess generated by events earlier in the series. One must read these books in order. More great humor, a staple of the series and a core element that keeps the pages flying by every bit as much as the action. In short, another great book.

Love this series

This story regains some of the mojo I thought it lost in the last book. The heart of the story is Atticus, his beloved Oberon, and their comical, serious, exciting, and touching exploits. This book delivers on all of the above. And as always, narrator Luke Daniel is superb.
