Book overview
The first novel in the New York Times bestselling Iron Druid Chronicles--the hilarious, action-packed tales of a two-thousand-year-old Druid pursued by ancient gods in the modern world
"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
Atticus O'Sullivan is the last of the ancient druids. He has been on the run for more than two thousand years and he's tired of it. The Irish gods who want to kill him are after an enchanted sword he stole in a first-century battle, and when they find him managing an occult bookshop in Tempe, Arizona, Atticus doesn't want to uproot his life again. He just wants everything to end one way or another, but preferably the way in which he can continue to enjoy fish and chips.
He does have some small hope of survival: The Morrigan, the Irish Chooser of the Slain, is on his side, and so is Brighid, First Among the Fae. His lawyer is literally a bloodsucking vampire, and he has a loyal Irish wolfhound with opinions about poodles.
But he's facing down some mighty enemies: Aenghus
