‘Tis St. Patrick’s Day, and in between great quaffs of green beer and all the Irish dancing your poor feet can stand, you might be interested in hearing about a soon to be released novel: Kevin Hearne’s Hounded, a tale of the Iron Druid.
And who might be this Iron Druid, you ask? A fair question. He’s a genuine Celtic hero, a could-be boon companion of the likes of Fin MacCool and Cuchullain – an Irish reaver quick of tongue and blade alike. His name is Atticus O’Sullivan, and he’s the last of the druids. He’s also immortal – but fae and human foe alike wish to put an end of that.
Over 2000 years ago O’Sullivan stole a magical sword from the Tuatha Dé Danann, and they’ve not forgiven him since. The legendary luck of the Irish – and perhaps his formidable Irish Wolfhound – has managed to keep him one step ahead of his enemies, but now, the very last druid in the world may have come to the end of the line. You might think Tempe, Arizona to be a strange place for a druid to hide, but he’s got company: witches, vampires and other supernaturals call it home as well. He’s among friends, but in his hour of need will any of them help a wayward druid?
If you like your urban fantasy with a bit of bite and your heroes bold and brave, then you’ll love Hounded, the first book in a great new series. Look for it May 3!
