Resumen del Editor

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In the eighth book in The Iron Druid Chronicles, two-thousand-year-old Druid Atticus O’Sullivan faces the clan of vampires who have been bent on destroying him—including Leif, his former best friend turned enemy.

When a Druid lives as long as Atticus does, he’s bound to run afoul of a few vampires—make that legions of them. Even his former friend and legal counsel turned out to be a bloodsucking backstabber. Now the toothy troublemakers—led by power-mad pain-in-the-neck Theophilus—are no longer content to live undead and let live. Atticus needs to make a point—and drive it into a vampire’s heart.

As always, Atticus wouldn’t mind a little backup. But his allies have problems of their own. Ornery archdruid Owen Kennedy is having a wee bit of troll trouble: Turns out when you stiff a troll, it’s not water under the bridge. Meanwhile, Granuaile is desperate to free herself of the Norse god Loki’s mark and elude his powers of divination—a quest that will bring her face-to-face with several Slavic nightmares.

As Atticus globe-trots to stop his vampire nemesis, the journey leads to Rome. What better place to end an immortal than the Eternal City? But poetic justice won’t come without a price: In order to defeat Theophilus, Atticus may have to lose an old friend.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“[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

Not the strongest book in the series.

Not sure why but Luke performance seemed off. Still a funny story and looking forward to the next installment.

Exceptional!

Exceptional story-telling from beginning to end. The end of this book especially is perfect and fits in line with the series.

Love this Series

Any additional comments?

Love Luke Daniels performance and this whole series. Please, please Kevin, don't go all political with the anti-oil, non-existent Keynesian non-sense of "global warming"

What's next?

This series was an accidental find and I became an instant fan. I can't wait to see/ hear what comes next. For those that are already fans of this series, know that this one is like gravy to a hound.

Was expecting more...

The quality in the story has decreased recently. Still a great series, though. Choose wisely.

Personal Fav

Kevin Hearne is my favorite fantasy author. It also helps that I've met him in person and yes, he's as cool as his novels. His stories allow me to become so engrossed that I can see the people and places, feel the temperatures and almost smell the salt coming onto the shores. The mental cinematography is amazing and I can't wait to read more. In the mean time I'll check out some up and coming authors to bide my time. Bless you all.
