HTML: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER � Acclaimed author Kevin Hearne makes his hardcover debut with the new novel in his epic urban fantasy series starring the unforgettable Atticus O�Sullivan. For nearly two thousand years, only one Druid has walked the Earth�Atticus O�Sullivan, the Iron Druid, whose sharp wit and sharp sword have kept him alive as he�s been pursued by a pantheon of hostile deities. Now he�s got company. Atticus�s apprentice Granuaile is at last a full Druid herself. What�s more, Atticus has defrosted an archdruid long ago frozen in time, a father figure (of sorts) who now goes by the modern equivalent of his old Irish name: Owen Kennedy. And Owen has some catching up to do. Atticus takes pleasure in the role reversal, as the student is now the teacher. Between busting Atticus�s chops and trying to fathom a cell phone, Owen must also learn English. For Atticus, the jury�s still out on whether the wily old coot will be an asset in the epic battle with Norse god Loki�or merely a pain in the arse. But Atticus isn�t the only one with daddy issues. Granuaile faces a great challenge: to exorcise a sorcerer�s spirit that is possessing her father in India. Even with the help of the witch Laksha, Granuaile may be facing a crushing defeat. As the trio of Druids deals with pestilence-spreading demons, bacon-loving yeti, fierce flying foxes, and frenzied Fae, they�re hoping that this time, three�s a charm.
