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.
