Part of The Iron Druid Chronicles, book 6
First published 2013
Atticus O'Sullivan has survived two millennia as a Druid, but his latest predicament tests even his ancient cunning. Two goddesses of the hunt, Artemis and Diana, pursue him relentlessly across modern Europe after he interfered with their sacred business. His usual escape route through magical planes remains blocked, leaving him no choice but to run. His apprentice Granuaile and faithful wolfhound Oberon race alongside him as they dodge divine arrows and seek sanctuary with allies among the Tuatha Dé Danann. The chase grows deadlier when Loki joins the pursuit. The Norse trickster god views Atticus as the final obstacle before triggering Ragnarok and ending the world. Atticus must outwit the Olympian hunters while preventing Loki from unleashing the apocalypse. The stakes could not be higher: failure means losing not just his life, but the entire world he calls home.
