Part of The Iron Druid Chronicles, book 4.3
First published 2012
Atticus O'Sullivan has spent six years training his apprentice Granuaile when a crow lands and shifts into the Morrigan, the Celtic goddess of war and death. She demands he come with her immediately. He must abandon his training session, leave behind Granuaile and his Irish wolfhound Oberon, and travel without his sword. The Morrigan refuses to explain their destination or purpose, which makes the two thousand year old druid deeply uneasy. She has always delighted in predicting his death and destruction. Her secrecy feels ominous. The goddess does reveal one troubling detail: she plans to save his life soon. This cryptic warning leaves Atticus wondering what danger awaits and whether his countless enemies will finally have cause for celebration. The Chooser of the Slain never appears without bringing trouble.
