He calls upon the Fay, Witches, other Gods and even the Phoenix and Tempe police departments to get what he wants.Ītticus is not without resources of his own. Og plans on using any means necessary to retrieve the sword so he can slay Brighid and take over as head of the Tuatha De Danann. Og is the Celtic god of love and Fragarach is a magical sword called the Answerer which can cut through almost anything and can compel folks to tell the truth like Wonder Woman's lasso. The whole thing starts with the Morrigan, the Celtic chooser of the slain, coming to warn Atticus that his old enemy, Aenghus Og had found him and hellbent to get Fragarach back. Add in my own Celtic background and I felt like the author had made a lot of choices that I would've made myself. Shakespeare references always earn extra points from me and I've been to Tempe many time. I've wanted an Irish Wolfhound for years. I love the name Atticus since I was in junior high and played Atticus Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird. That ticked a lot of boxes for me right away. We met Atticus O'Sullivan, a 2,100 year-old druid living in Tempe, AZ with his Irish Woflhound named Oberon. It didn't take me long to get into the story.

So I loaded up the book and started listening to Luke Daniels perform the novel. It sounded interesting to me and Kevin is going to be at the Phoenix Comicon this weekend, which I will be at too. I went with Hounded, the first Iron Druid Chronicles novel by Kevin Hearne.
