First published 2011
Atticus O'Sullivan walks through the Arizona desert near the Kaibab Plateau, his ancient druidic powers connecting him to the land around him. The last of the druids has lived for over two millennia, but even his vast experience cannot prepare him for every threat that emerges from the supernatural world. Two weeks before the events that will thrust him into his greatest conflict, Atticus encounters forces that test his abilities and remind him that his enemies never rest. His loyal Irish wolfhound Oberon stays by his side as danger approaches. The desert holds secrets that could reshape everything Atticus believes about his place in the modern world. This brief glimpse into his life reveals the constant vigilance required of someone who has made enemies of gods and immortals. Atticus must draw upon centuries of knowledge and power to survive what comes next.
