NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In the eighth book in The Iron Druid Chronicles, two-thousand-year-old Druid Atticus O’Sullivan faces the clan of vampires who have been bent on destroying him—including Leif, his former best friend turned enemy. When a Druid lives as long as Atticus does, he’s bound to run afoul of a few vampires—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—are no longer content to live undead and let live. Atticus needs to make a point—and drive it into a vampire’s heart. As 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. As Atticus globe-trots to stop his vampire nemesis, 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.

In the sixth novel in the New York Times bestselling Iron Druid Chronicles, two-thousand-year-old Druid Atticus O’Sullivan finds himself the target of two goddesses of the hunt and a trickster god determined to unleash the apocalypse. “[Kevin] Hearne is a terrific storyteller with a great snarky wit. . . . Neil Gaiman’s American Gods meets Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden.”—SFFWorld For someone who’s been alive for two thousand years, Atticus O’Sullivan is a pretty fast runner. Good thing, because he’s being chased by not one but two goddesses of the hunt—Artemis and Diana—for messing with one of their own. Dodging their slings and arrows, Atticus, Granuaile, and his wolfhound, Oberon, are making a mad dash across modern-day Europe to seek help from a friend of the Tuatha Dé Danann. His usual magical option of shifting planes is blocked, so instead of playing hide-and-seek, the game plan is . . . run like hell. Crashing the pantheon marathon is the Norse god Loki. Killing Atticus is the only loose end he needs to tie up before unleashing Ragnarok—AKA the Apocalypse. Atticus and Granuaile have to outfox the Olympians and contain the god of mischief if they want to go on living—and still have a world to live in.

The history of the Earth and that of the Annunaki are intertwined. The ancient Sumerians speak of a race of aliens from the planet Niburu, other tales tell of how a wandering planet collided with a giant planet Tiamat giving rise to the Earth. Other stories relate how the Annunaki created mankind to serve them. In the beginning mankind had no set life-span, and the population could only be controlled by fire, flood, or pestilence. During the final deluge the Annunaki (the Gods) wept at the suffering of mankind and gave man a set lifespan. It was during the great deluge that Ziusundra (Noah) survived on the Ark, a story that lies in the Atra-Hasis, the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Bible. The tales surrounding the Annunaki are inconsistent, conflicting and endless. This book tells, in ten interlinked stories, from their first visit 14.2 million years ago to the present day, and long into the future, the story of the Annunaki.

From the award-winning author of, 'Yesterday's Falcon, ' comes a rich new adventure set against the backdrop of medieval Wales. When Torrance, Gawain's ten year old son is kidnapped, Gawain and his wife, Rhiannon, enlist the aid of Merlin to track down the traveling bard who took him. Their journey takes them through snowbound valleys and across the wild Celtic seas. But the kidnapping is only the beginning. Gawain and Rhiannon soon discover that Morganna, the Dark Druid who planned the abduction, is bent on using their son to find the fabled lost Runes. These mystical rune stones lie hidden in the depths of Khull Coome, a foreboding castle on the Irish coast. Neither Merlin's ancient art, nor Gawain's charmed sword are enough to thwart Morganna's plans. Somehow she always remains one step ahead, for she knows that revenge can make fools of us all. Praise for 'Yesterday's Falcon' . "Most intriguing is the interplay between the old ways of the Druids and the rise of Christianity, with Gawain serving as the fulcrum that unites the two worlds. By highlighting the influence of the Druids and allowing the two faiths to coexist, the author creates a harmonious mixture that offers intriguing possibilities for future tales. A worthy re-interpretation of the Grail legend and solid addition to the pantheon of Gawain stories."-Kirkus Discoveries "A richly detailed saga of medieval heroes and villains, Yesterday's Falcon is entertaining and recommended reading for action/adventure fantasy enthusiasts." five out of five stars.-Midwest Reviews
