「歐文——希望你不介意我這樣叫你,因為我不能一直叫你大德魯伊——你已經在那座島上超過兩千年了。」
從時間之島帶回沉睡兩千多年的大德魯伊之後,活了21個世紀的阿提克斯,面臨了出乎意料的麻煩。
他不僅要幫他回春,幫他弄新身分,還要教他英文,並介紹現代社會的林林總總,好讓他適應新生活。偏偏大德魯伊除了天賦異稟、法力高強外,基本上一生都是個脾氣暴躁、沒什麼朋友的傢伙。他兩千多年前的打罵教育讓阿提克斯至今餘悸猶存,現在可好,師徒的角色竟然互換了!
而諸神黃昏仍然迫在眉睫——
蠢蠢欲動的洛基、神衹中的神秘敵人、散播瘟疫的羅剎、熱愛培根的雪人、會飛的狐狸⋯⋯即使大德魯伊重返人世,加上新手德魯伊關妮兒,現在世上有了三個德魯伊;但想活下去,他們仍然需要很多好運!

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For nearly two thousand years, only one Druid has walked the Earth—Atticus O’Sullivan, the Iron Druid, whose sharp wit and sharp sword have kept him alive as he’s been pursued by a pantheon of hostile deities. Now he’s got company.
Atticus’s apprentice Granuaile is at last a full Druid herself. What’s more, Atticus has defrosted an archdruid long ago frozen in time, a father figure (of sorts) who now goes by the modern equivalent of his old Irish name: Owen Kennedy.
And Owen has some catching up to do.
Atticus takes pleasure in the role reversal, as the student is now the teacher. Between busting Atticus’s chops and trying to fathom a cell phone, Owen must also learn English. For Atticus, the jury’s still out on whether the wily old coot will be an asset in the epic battle with Norse god Loki—or merely a pain in the arse.
But Atticus isn’t the only one with daddy issues. Granuaile faces a great challenge: to exorcise a sorcerer’s spirit that is possessing her father in India. Even with the help of the witch Laksha, Granuaile may be facing a crushing defeat.
As the trio of Druids deals with pestilence-spreading demons, bacon-loving yeti, fierce flying foxes, and frenzied Fae, they’re hoping that this time, three’s a charm.
