The Iron Druid Chronicles
"The Iron Druid Chronicles" is a popular urban fantasy series written by Kevin Hearne. The series follows the adventures of Atticus O'Sullivan, the last druid and a few thousand years old. Atticus runs an occult bookshop in Tempe, Arizona, and lives a relatively quiet life, all things considered. However, his past is never far behind, and he must constantly use his wit, magical abilities, and knowledge of ancient lore to stay one step ahead of various gods, goddesses, and mythical creatures who would like nothing more than to see him dead. Throughout the series, Atticus travels the world and encounters a wide variety of characters from different mythologies, including Norse, Greek, and Celtic. He also has a loyal (and sarcastic) wolfhound companion named Oberon, who provides a good deal of comic relief. Hearne's writing style is engaging and humorous, and he has a knack for bringing ancient myths and legends to life in a modern setting. The series is packed with action, adventure, and a healthy dose of pop culture references. It is a must-read for fans of urban fantasy and mythology. The series consists of eleven books, starting with "Hounded" (2011) and ending with "Scourged" (2018). Each book is a standalone story, but they are best enjoyed when read in order, as they build upon each other and reveal more about Atticus's past and the larger world in which he lives. In summary, "The Iron Druid Chronicles" is a thrilling and entertaining series that combines ancient mythology with modern urban fantasy. It is a must-read for fans of the genre and anyone looking for a fun and exciting escape.
