Shattered

In 'Shattered,' the seventh installment of Kevin Hearne's beloved Iron Druid Chronicles, Atticus O'Sullivan, the ancient and ever-witty Iron Druid, finds his solitary existence fundamentally changed. After two millennia as the last of his kind, Atticus now has company: his apprentice, Granuaile, has finally achieved full Druid status, and Owen Kennedy, a powerful archdruid from a bygone era, has been unfrozen and introduced to the bewildering modern world. This shift creates a delightful dynamic, as Atticus, once the perpetual student, now finds himself teaching Owen everything from basic English to the intricacies of contemporary society. While Owen grapples with cell phones and cultural shock, the trio must unite against a growing tide of supernatural threats. From pestilence-spreading demons and bacon-loving yetis to fierce flying foxes and frenzied Fae, their combined power is desperately needed. As the impending confrontation with the formidable Norse god Loki looms, Atticus grapples with whether Owen will be a vital asset or merely a distracting challenge, hoping that with 'three's a charm,' they can face down the encroaching darkness.
