After twelve years of training Atticus is ready to make his apprentice a Druid, and his old enemies, gods and vampires among them, arrive at once. Some readers enjoy the familiar blend of jokes and fast action, with the wolfhound Oberon a favourite; others say the plot moves a long way forward. It is for those who know the four earlier books.

About the book
After twelve years of secret training, Atticus O’Sullivan is finally ready to bind his apprentice, Granuaile, to the earth and double the number of Druids in the world. But on the eve of the ritual, the world that thought he was dead abruptly discovers that he’s still alive, and they would much rather he return to the grave. Having no other choice, Atticus, his trusted Irish wolfhound, Oberon, and Granuaile travel to the base of Mount Olympus, where the Roman god Bacchus is anxious to take his sworn revenge—but he’ll have to get in line behind an ancient vampire, a band of dark elves, and an old god of mischief, who all seem to have KILL THE DRUID at the top of their to-do lists.
