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)

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

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Always a good read!

As always Oberon is awesome! :) I loved the storyline for this one - the ski walkers and Hell were very menacing! Never do a deal with Coyote, he'll trick you every time!

Excellent Listen

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

Absolutely. Luke Daniels is possibly my favorite narrator, rivaling even Jim Dale. His performance makes the story just perfect.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Tricked?

Any of the side commentary that Oberon provides.

well worth it!

What about Luke Daniels’s performance did you like?

i think Attticus (the dog) was the best character in the whole book. i actually burst out laughing a few times!
i had been looking forward to this next instalment of the book and was not disappointed! was 'unputdownable' for me.

Enjoyed story!

Any additional comments?

Great story! Atticus (Riley) is finally realizing what his participation in Thor's death has brought to his current and future events. A thrilling ride with Atticus very close to meeting his end more than once. Luke Daniels did a great narration job.

Loving the Iron Druid chronicles!

Once I get started on these, I can't seem to stop. I play this audio book aloud while cleaning, driving, anything mind numbing and I get hours of enjoyment. Already getting the next book in the series!
