Der Druide Atticus will eigentlich nur eines: seine Ruhe haben vor all den Göttern, Hexen und Feen. Aber dieser Wunsch bleibt ihm verwehrt. Denn nachdem er in Notwehr eine hohe Gottheit getötet hat, wollen plötzlich alle etwas von ihm - Schutz vor Anschlägen, Rivalen aus dem Weg schaffen oder ihm eine spezielle Göttertöter-Versicherung aufschwatzen. Kurz bevor er einen Friedenspakt mit dem örtlichen Hexenorden schließen kann, taucht eine Heerschar neuer Hexen auf.

The acclaimed author Kevin Hearne returns with a brand new novel in his epic urban fantasy series starring the unforgettable Atticus O'Sullivan.

Im alten Ägypten nimmt Atticus an einem Überfall auf die Geheimkammer unter der Bibliothek von Alexandria teil. Doch wer hätte gedacht, dass im Team des Wachdienstes ausgerechnet zwei ägyptische Götter arbeiten?

Atticus O'Sullivan is back in an all-new, action-packed, laugh-out-loud novella from the author of the Iron Druid Chronicles.

Once upon a time, a princess slept in a magical tower cloaked in thorns and roses. When she woke, she found no Prince Charming, only a surfeit of hair and grotesquely long fingernails - which was, honestly, better than some creep who acted without consent.

On a pirate ship. Where you belong.

Suddenly Offi is the leader of a band of lovable misfits and outcasts - from a gryphon who would literally kill for omelets to a young dwarf herbalist who is better with bees than with his cudgel to an assertive and cheerful teen witch with a beard as long as her book of curses.
