Reviews“A page-turning and often laugh-out-loud funny caper through a mix of the modern and the mythic.â€�-Ari Marmell, author of The Warlord’s Legacy “Celtic mythology and an ancient Druid with modern attitude mix it up in the Arizona desert in this witty new fantasy series.â€�-Kelly Meding, author of Three Days to Dead “Kevin Hearne breathes new life into old myths, creating a world both eerily familiar and startlingly original.â€�-Nicole Peeler, author of Tempest Rising "Hearne, a self-professed comic-book nerd, has turned his love of awesome dudes whacking mightily at evil villains into a superb urban fantasy debut." - Publisher's Weekly, starred review, "Hearne, a self-professed comic-book nerd, has turned his love of awesome dudes whacking mightily at evil villains into a superb urban fantasy debut. Staying alive for 2,000 years takes a great deal of cunning, and sexy super-druid Atticus O'Sullivan, currently holed up in the Arizona desert, has vexed a few VIPs along the way. High up on that list is Aenghus Óg, the Celtic god of love. It's not just that Aenghus wants his sword back--though it is a very nice magical sword--but that Atticus didn't exactly ask permission to take it. Atticus and his trusty sidekick, Irish wolfhound Oberon, make an eminently readable daring duo as they dodge Aenghus's minions and thwart his schemes with plenty of quips and zap-pow-bang fighting." -- Publisher's Weekly, starred review "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 "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 Three Days to Dead "Kevin Hearne breathes new life into old myths, creating a world both eerily familiar and startlingly original."--Nicole Peeler, author of Tempest Rising, "Hearne, a self-professed comic-book nerd, has turned his love of awesome dudes whacking mightily at evil villains into a superb urban fantasy debut.

SynopsisThe 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 Óg, a vengeful Irish god, plus a coven of witches and even the local police. On top of all that, Aenghus has a direct line to the firepower of hell. Atticus will need all the luck of the Irish and more if he's going to stay alive. Don't miss any of The Iron Druid Chronicles: HOUNDED HEXED HAMMERED TRICKED TRAPPED HUNTED SHATTERED STAKED SCOURGED BESIEGED, The first novel in the Iron Druid Chronicles--introducing a cool, new, funny urban fantasy hero Atticus O'Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbors and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old--when in actuality, he's twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: He draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer. Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he's hounded Atticus for centuries. Now the determined deity has tracked him down, and Atticus will need all his power--plus the help of a seductive goddess of death, his vampire and werewolf team of attorneys, a bartender possessed by a Hindu witch, and some good old-fashioned luck of the Irish--to kick some Celtic arse and deliver himself from evil. Don't miss any of Kevin Hearne's phenomenal Iron Druid Chronicles novels: HOUNDED - HEXED - HAMMERED - TRICKED - TRAPPED - HUNTED - SHATTERED - STAKED
