In the third installment of The Iron Druid Chronicles, "Hammered," ancient Druid Atticus O'Sullivan is drawn into a high-stakes conflict that threatens to unravel his carefully constructed life. After centuries of quiet survival, Atticus agrees to aid his Viking vampire friend, Leif Helgarson, in a long-awaited quest for vengeance against the tyrannical Norse god, Thor. While Atticus has always avoided direct confrontation with deities, escalating tensions in his home base of Tempe, Arizona—including a brewing vampire turf war and the rampage of Russian demon hunters known as the Hammers of God—force his hand. Defying dire warnings and prophecies, Atticus and Leif embark on a perilous journey to the Norse plain of Asgard. There, they forge unlikely alliances with a werewolf, a sorcerer, and even an army of frost giants, preparing for an epic and potentially suicidal showdown against fierce Valkyries, enraged gods, and the thunderous might of Thor himself. This adventure pushes Atticus to his limits, testing his magical abilities and his resolve against forces far older and more powerful than himself.
