From the New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Druid
Chronicles comes book two of an "action-packed, enchantingly fun"
(Booklist) spin-off series, as an eccentric master of rare magic
solves a supernatural mystery Down Under!
There's only one Al MacBharrais: Though other Scotsmen may have dramatic
mustaches and a taste for fancy cocktails, Al also has a unique talent.
He's a master of ink and sigil magic. In his gifted hands, paper and pen
can work wondrous spells.
But Al isn't quite alone: He is part of a global network of sigil agents
who use their powers to protect the world from mischievous gods and
strange monsters. So when a fellow agent disappears under sinister
circumstances in Australia, Al leaves behind the cozy pubs and cafes of
Glasgow and travels to the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria to solve the
mystery.
The trail to his colleague begins to pile up with bodies at alarming
speed, so Al is grateful his friends have come to help--especially
Nadia, his accountant who moonlights as a pit fighter. Together with a
whisky-loving hobgoblin known as Buck Foi and the ancient Druid Atticus
O'Sullivan, along with his dogs, Oberon and Starbuck, Al and Nadia will
face down the wildest wonders Australia--and the supernatural world--can
throw at them, and confront a legendary monster not seen in centuries.
