Make that legions of them. Even his former friend and legal counsel turned out to be a bloodsucking backstabber. Now the toothy troublemakers—led by power-mad pain-in-the-neck Theophilus—have become a huge problem requiring a solution. It’s time to make a stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs always, Atticus wouldn’t mind a little backup. But his allies have problems of their own. Ornery archdruid Owen Kennedy is having a wee bit of troll trouble: Turns out when you stiff a troll, it’s not water under the bridge. Meanwhile, Granuaile is desperate to free herself of the Norse god Loki’s mark and elude his powers of divination—a quest that will bring her face-to-face with several Slavic nightmares.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Atticus globetrots to stop his nemesis Theophilus, the journey leads to Rome. What better place to end an immortal than the Eternal City? But poetic justice won’t come without a price: In order to defeat Theophilus, Atticus may have to lose an old friend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDon’t miss any of Kevin Hearne’s phenomenal Iron Druid Chronicles novels:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHOUNDED | HEXED | HAMMERED | TRICKED | TRAPPED | HUNTED | SHATTERED | STAKED\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for Kevin Hearne and The Iron Druid Chronicles\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“[The Iron Druid books] are clever, fast paced and a good escape.”\u003cb\u003e—Jason Weisberger, \u003ci\u003eBoing Boing\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Celtic mythology and an ancient Druid with modern attitude mix it up in the Arizona desert in this witty new fantasy series.”\u003cb\u003e—Kelly Meding, author of \u003ci\u003eChimera\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Outrageously fun.”\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—The Plain Dealer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003eon\u003ci\u003e Hounded\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Superb . . . plenty of quips and zap-pow-bang fighting.”\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e (starred review)\u003c\/b\u003e, on \u003ci\u003eHounded\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Exciting . . .
