About this ebook

Set in the modern world, this is a fabulous new urban fantasy series from a new American author ... magic, ancient gods, action and humour.
Atticus is having a bad deity. '[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 LAMENt '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 Atticus O'Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona running an occult bookshop and shapeshifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbours and customers think this handsome, tattooed Irishman is about twenty-one years old when, actually, it's twenty-one centuries. Atticus 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 the sword, and he's been after Atticus for centuries. Now the determined deity has tracked him down and Atticus will need all his powers - plus a seductive goddess of death, his vampire and werewolf team of lawyers, a sexy bartender possessed by a Hindu witch, and some good, old-fashioned Irish luck - to kick some Celtic arse and deliver himself from evil. 'Hearne breathes new life into old myths, creating a world both eerily familiar and startlingly original.'NICOLE PEELER, author of tEMPESt RISING

Ratings and reviews

The sample was great. I'd love to read the rest, but I think you're asking to much to pay for it. I understand you have to make a living, but you could at least make the first book a lot cheaper to get the readers reading you're books. It's the same price here as it is on Amazon.

Very light book, but always enjoyabke

An enjoyable frolic
