NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In the fourth novel of the Iron Druid
Chronicles, two-thousand-year-old Druid Atticus O'Sullivan must pay his
debts to cunning trickster god Coyote, a task that includes battling
undead creatures of the night as well as a relentless hound of Hel and
the goddess of death who commands it.
"[Kevin] Hearne is a terrific storyteller with a great snarky wit. .
. . Neil Gaiman's American Gods meets Jim Butcher's Harry
Dresden."--SFFWorld
Cutting a deal with a trickster god rarely goes well for any human brave
or foolish enough to try it, but Atticus doesn't feel like he has a
choice. With members of the Norse pantheon out for his blood, he can't
train his apprentice in peace, so he asks Coyote to help him fake his
own death. The cost, however, might wind up being every bit as high as
if he'd made no deal at all.
There are things hiding in the Arizona desert that don't want any
company, and Coyote makes sure they know Atticus has arrived. And then
there's the hound of Hel, Garm, who's terribly difficult to shake and
not at all convinced that Atticus is dead.
Being tricked by a trickster is par for the course. But it's the
betrayal from someone he thought was a friend that shakes Atticus to the
core and places his life in jeopardy. The real trick, he discovers,
might be surviving his own faked death.
