What would you do if you were the only one of your kind left in this world? That is a question answered by Atticus O’ Sullivan, the last living Druid. He has hidden himself for centuries from the god of love, Aneghus Og. Atticus took the magical sword Fragarach, which Aneghus thinks rightfully belongs to him because it will give him unlimited power to rule over the realm of the gods. Atticus has fought off Aneghus’ minions throughout the century.
Currently, Atticus pretends to be a 21-year-old in the college town of Tempe, Arizona. He likes it there because the Fae can’t travel there easily. Atticus runs a business called the Third Eye Books and Herbs. Despite the lack of Fae in the area, there are plenty of supernatural creatures around, including werewolves, vampires, witches, etc. Atticus is kept company by his loyal wolfhound, Oberon, with whom he is able to communicate telepathically.
Life is good for Atticus until he receives a warning from the Morrigan, a goddess of death. She tells him that Aneghus is near and will be coming for Atticus himself. Now, Atticus has to decide if he should keep running or finish Aneghus once and for all. What will he choose?
I liked the book that shows how supernatural beings fit into the modern world. They have regular jobs, but try to keep their magical side a secret. Seeing them try to blend into society is entertaining.
I also like how the book deals with the different gods. Each god has their own agenda and doesn’t mind messing with people’s lives to get to their goal, especially Atticus. It leads Atticus to wonder whom he should really trust or if he is really alone in dealing with the gods.
One of the most entertaining characters of the book is Oberon. His happy devotion to Atticus is adorable. He also has interesting commentary on the different beings that Atticus interacts with, which makes Atticus laugh a lot of the time.
Overall, I think the book was good. It is wonderful if you like mythology mixed with urban fantasy. There are ten books in this series. I am curious to see how the story continues. After reading this, my question to you is the following: What would you do if you were the last of your kind left on Earth, especially if there were forces against you?
