About this book

The first novel in the Iron Druid Chronicles—introducing a cool, new, funny urban fantasy hero Atticus O'Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound.

Who this is for

AI · Sample

A relentless, joke-a-page apocalyptic LitRPG that rewards readers who don't mind game mechanics on the page.

Best read in long sittings; the pace assumes you're not putting it down.
