About this audiobook

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In the final book in The Iron Druid Chronicles, two-thousand-year-old Druid Atticus O’Sullivan confronts the Norse gods Loki and Hel to stop the impending apocalypse, while Granuaile and Owen work to secure the future of Druidry.

“[Kevin] Hearne draws his Iron Druid Chronicles to a pitch-perfect close in this dizzy, world-hopping adventure. But amidst the battles and bargaining that go into saving the world, there is also an enormous amount of heart.”—RT Book Reviews

Unchained from fate, the Norse gods Loki and Hel are ready to unleash Ragnarok, a.k.a. the Apocalypse, upon the earth. They’ve made allies on the darker side of many pantheons, and there’s a globe-spanning battle brewing that ancient Druid Atticus O’Sullivan will be hardpressed to survive, much less win.

Granuaile MacTiernan must join immortals Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen in a fight against the Yama Kings in Taiwan, and she discovers that the stakes are much higher than she thought.

Meanwhile, Archdruid Owen Kennedy must put out both literal and metaphorical fires from Bavaria to Peru to keep the world safe for his apprentices and the future of Druidry.

And Atticus recruits the aid of a tyromancer, an Indian witch, and a trickster god in hopes that they’ll give him just enough leverage to both save Gaia and see another sunrise. There is a hound named Oberon who deserves a snack, after all.

Ratings and reviews

I love this book series and all of the mini series that goes with it! Kevin's books are always action packed with a great storyline. I love the characters in this book Slomo (maybe Okins pet? kinda like Oberon is to Atticus). this is my second time through the series and I still can't get enough of it I kind of hope that he does one more mini-book kind of an ends to ALL ends, just because he left a lot hanging out thete. Or maybe he can continue it off of Oberon's miniseries so we can find out what happens to Slomo and the puppies and Orla and The new Boston Terrier.

It was a wonderful ending to an amazing series. I absolutely loved the book. The book left me in tears, in a way that i felt when Dumbledore died. It was very powerful, and moving.

This book was horrible. It was an awful ending to the series. Plus Hearne's political commentary, which started a few books previously, is in full force in this one.
