Kevin Hearne returns to the world
of the Iron Druid Chronicles in book two of a spin-off series about an
eccentric master of rare magic solving an uncanny mystery in Scotland.
There’s only one Al MacBharrais: Though other Scotsmen
may have dramatic mustaches and a taste for fancy cocktails, Al also has a
unique talent. He’s a master of ink and sigil magic. In his gifted hands, paper
and pen can work wondrous spells.
But Al isn’t quite alone: He is part of a global network
of sigil agents who use their powers to protect the world from mischievous gods
and strange monsters. So when a fellow agent disappears under sinister
circumstances in Australia, Al leaves behind the cozy pubs and cafes of Glasgow
and travels to the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria to solve the mystery.
The trail to his colleague begins to pile up with bodies
at alarming speed, so Al is grateful his friends have come to help—especially
Nadia, his accountant who moonlights as a pit fighter. Together with a
whisky-loving hobgoblin known as Buck Foi and the ancient Druid Atticus
O’Sullivan, along with his dogs, Oberon and Starbuck, Al and Nadia will face
down the wildest wonders Australia—and the supernatural world—can throw at
them, and confront a legendary monster not seen in centuries.
