And the new girls are not just bad, they're badasses with a dark history on the German side of World War II.

Al MacBharrais is both blessed and cursed. He is blessed with an extraordinary white moustache, an appreciation for craft cocktails - and a most unique magical talent. He can cast spells with magically enchanted ink and he uses his gifts to protect our world from rogue minions of various pantheons, especially the Fae.

For a two-thousand-year-old Druid, Atticus O'Sullivan is a pretty fast runner. Good thing, because he's being chased by not one but two goddesses of the hunt - Artemis and Diana - for messing with one of their own. Dodging their slings and arrows, Atticus, his apprentice Granuaile and his wolfhound Oberon are making a mad dash across modern-day Europe to seek help from a friend of the Tuatha Dé Danann. His usual magical option of shifting planes is blocked, so instead of playing hide and seek, the game plan is...

The acclaimed author Kevin Hearne returns with a brand new novel in his epic urban fantasy series starring the unforgettable Atticus O'Sullivan. For nearly two thousand years, there was only one Druid left walking the Earth - Atticus O'Sullivan, the Iron Druid, whose sharp wit and sharp sword kept him alive while pursued by a pantheon of hostile deities. Now he's got company. Atticus' apprentice, Granuaile, is finally a full Druid herself.

A plucky farm boy will find more than he's bargained for on his quest to awaken the sleeping princess in her cursed tower. First there's the Dark Lord, who wishes for the boy's untimely death...and also very fine cheese. Then there's a bard without a song in her heart but with a very adorable and fuzzy tail, an assassin who fears not the night but is terrified of chickens, and a mighty fighter more frightened of her sword than of her chain-mail bikini. This journey will lead to sinister umlauts, a trash-talking goat, and the Dread Necromancer Steve....

Archdruid Owen Kennedy and his sloth, Slomo, are off to see the world when Coriander, Herald Extraordinary of the First among the Fae, interrupts to ask for the tiny favor of solving a supernatural murder. That sets the pair off on a trail that leads from Granada, Spain, to London, England and then to Austin, Texas. Owen and Slomo will have to outwit an Irish goddess of wisdom, some nasty spriggans, and streak across the Kew Gardens to find the culprit. They're going to see the world after all - just not the way they thought.

Once upon a time, a princess slept in a magical tower cloaked in thorns and roses. When she woke, she found no Prince Charming, only a surfeit of hair and grotesquely long fingernails - which was, honestly, better than some creep who acted without consent. She cut off her long braids and used them to escape. But she kept the beard because it made a great disguise. This is not a story about finding true love’s kiss - it's a story about finding yourself. On a pirate ship. Where you belong.

It takes only one halfling bomb, and Offi Numminen’s world is turned upside-down - or downside-up, really, since he lives in a hole in the ground. His goth cardigans and aggressive melancholy set him apart from the other gnomes, as does his decision to fight back against their halfling oppressors. Suddenly Offi is the leader of a band of lovable misfits and outcasts - from a gryphon who would literally kill for omelets to a young dwarf herbalist who is better with bees than with his cudgel to an assertive and cheerful teen witch with a beard as long as her book of curses.

Ein Muss für alle Hundeliebhaber und Fans der Reihe "Die Chronik des Eisernen Druiden". Oberon wittert sofort ein niederträchtiges Verbrechen, als er von dem Verschwinden eines preisgekrönten Pudels in Oregon hört. Hat sich doch ein ähnlicher Fall erst kürzlich im Bundesstaat Washington ereignet. Die Polizei kümmert sich nicht weiter um die Angelegenheit, aber Oberon hilft der Gerechtigkeit nach. Wenig später fällt ihm auf einer Fahrt nach Portland, die er zusammen mit der Wolfshündin Orlaith und dem Boston Terrier Starbuck unternimmt, ein zweiter Fall vor die Pfoten.

Atticus könnte Beistand gebrauchen: Den Vampiren rund um ihren Anführer Theophilus muss das Handwerk gelegt werden. Doch seine Verbündeten haben eigene Sorgen. So wird der Erzdruide Owen Kennedy von seiner Troll-Vergangenheit eingeholt und Granuaile kämpft verzweifelt darum, sich vom Brandzeichen des nordischen Gottes LOKI zu befreien. Als Atticus im Zug seines Kampfes gegen Theophilus in Rom eintrifft, erscheint ihm die Ewige Stadt als passender Ort für das Ende des Unsterblichen.

Nach zwölf Jahren geheimer Druidenausbildung ist es endlich soweit. Atticus O'Sullivan kann seine Auszubildende Granuile an die Erde binden. Auf diese Weise würde die Anzahl der Druiden auf der Welt auf einen Schlag verdoppelt werden. Unglücklicherweise fliegt auf dem Höhepunkt des Rituals Atticus' Tarnung auf. Nachdem er sich nicht länger verstecken kann, bleibt Atticus keine andere Wahl, als mit seinem treuen Wolfshund Oberon und Granuile an den Fuß des Olymps zu reisen.

Für einen zweitausend Jahre alten Druiden kann Atticus O'Sullivan verdammt schnell rennen. Zum Glück - denn er wird von gleich zwei Jagdgöttinnen durch das heutige Europa gejagt.Atticus, Granuaile und der Wolfshund Oberon lassen sich, während sie den Pfeilen und Schleudergeschossen der Jägerinnen ausweichen, auf einen aberwitzigen Wettlauf ein. Atticus' magischer Kunstgriff, über Bäume die Gefilde zu wechseln, ist blockiert. Deshalb heißt der Plan statt "Versteckspiel" - "renn um dein Leben".

Seit Äonen ruhte Atticus O'Sullivans alter Lehrmeister tiefgefroren im ewigen Eis, bis er von Atticus aufgetaut wird. Owen Kennedy, wie der Erzdruide umgetauft wird, muss viele Sachen neu lernen, darunter die englische Sprache und den Umgang mit Handys. Atticus plagen unterdessen ganz andere Probleme: Für ihn ist unklar, ob Owen eine Hilfe sein wird - oder bloß ein Klotz am Bein.

Der Druide Atticus will eigentlich nur eines: seine Ruhe haben vor all den Göttern, Hexen und Feen. Aber dieser Wunsch bleibt ihm verwehrt. Denn nachdem er in Notwehr eine hohe Gottheit getötet hat, wollen plötzlich alle etwas von ihm - Schutz vor Anschlägen, Rivalen aus dem Weg schaffen oder ihm eine spezielle Göttertöter-Versicherung aufschwatzen. Kurz bevor er einen Friedenspakt mit dem örtlichen Hexenorden schließen kann, taucht eine Heerschar neuer Hexen auf.

The ancient Druid Atticus O’Sullivan gets more than greasy corn dogs and flat soda when he visits a carnival in Kansas to which his apprentice, Granuaile, drags him. He runs across a barker with a strange power over the crowd: attractive women leave their men and disappear into an unmarked tent, never to be seen again, and the men wander away, forgetting that they ever had girlfriends or wives. When Granuaile falls under the barker’s influence and enters the tent, Atticus isn’t about to forget it and move on.

Come one, come all! The Carniepunk Midway promises you every thrill and chill a traveling carnival can provide. But fear not! Urban fantasy's biggest stars are here to guide you through this strange and dangerous world....

When he’s not vanquishing villainous gods or dodging demons, 2,000-year-old Druid Atticus O’Sullivan can be found behind the counter of Third Eye Books and Herbs in modern-day Tempe, Arizona, literally minding his own business. But when an evil sorcerer - and amateur shoplifter - snatches an ancient Egyptian tome of black magic, The Grimoire of the Lamb, Atticus is not sheepish about pursuing him to the ends of the earth...or at least to the Land of the Pharaohs.
