About This Audiobook

Ancient druid Atticus O'Sullivan finds his comfortable existence in Tempe, Arizona shattered when a malevolent coven of witches arrives with conquest on their minds. While Atticus maintains an uneasy truce with the local magical community, these newcomers have no interest in peaceful coexistence. Backed by dangerous allies including bloodthirsty Bacchants and a fallen angel with an appetite for teenagers, the invading witches threaten to upset the supernatural balance Atticus has worked centuries to maintain. With his apprentice's safety hanging in the balance, the two-thousand-year-old druid must forge unlikely alliances and call in old debts to protect his adopted home.

Luke Daniels delivers a masterful performance that captures both Atticus's sardonic wit and the mounting tension as supernatural forces clash. His ability to shift seamlessly between the druid's casual modern vernacular and the gravitas required for ancient magic creates an engaging listening experience that highlights the series' unique blend of contemporary urban fantasy and mythological depth. Daniels's distinct character voices bring the diverse cast of witches, vampires, and trickster gods to vivid life, while his pacing builds suspense without sacrificing the humor that makes Atticus such a compelling protagonist.
