When a Druid has lived for two thousand years like Atticus, 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—have become a huge problem requiring a solution. It’s time to make a stand.
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 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. - from Amazon.com
This is the eighth book in the Iron Druid series from Hearne, and I am just really enjoy them. Hearne writes with quite a bit of humor, from Shakespeare, to Star Wars references, that truly make this an enjoyable urban fantasy series. Drag in a bunch of gods from many different parts of history/myth, through some vampires, werewolves and witches, and you have yourself this series. Again Hearne has kept my interest, and brought me another chapter in this tale he has embarked on.
