「這是部超級都會奇幻。」
女海妖唯一尚未成真的預言:
「白鬍子在俄國吃兔肉聊海蛇之後13年,世界將會陷入火海。」
活過兩千年的最後德魯伊阿提克斯,正在面對至今為止最可怕的爛攤子。為了解決酒神女祭司和魔咒女巫,他欠了一堆人情。於是,他必須入侵北歐神域阿斯加德,偷取一顆青春女神的金蘋果;還要幫他的律師李夫.海加森組一個團隊找雷神索爾算總帳——這個北歐雷神是個很混蛋的神,他毀掉了無數人生,並要為許多無辜生命的凋零負責。
但事情的複雜性遠超出他的預料。吸血鬼地盤爭奪戰一觸即發,俄羅斯女巫獵人「上帝之鎚」也找上門來;耶穌更現身忠告,千萬不要蹚這渾水,因為這可能是最後倒數的開端,一旦命運的劇本被改寫,不論是德魯伊阿提克斯,或這整個世界,都沒有多少機會能存活下來……

BOOK 3 IN THE IRON DRUID CHRONICLES
Thor, the Norse god of thunder, is worse than a blowhard and a bully—he’s ruined countless lives and killed scores of innocents. After centuries, Viking vampire Leif Helgarson is ready to get his vengeance, and he’s asked his friend Atticus O’Sullivan, the last of the Druids, to help take down this Norse nightmare.
One survival strategy has worked for Atticus for more than two thousand years: stay away from the guy with the lightning bolts. But things are heating up in Atticus’s home base of Tempe, Arizona. There’s a vampire turf war brewing, and Russian demon hunters who call themselves the Hammers of God are running rampant.
Despite multiple warnings and portents of dire consequences, Atticus and Leif journey to the Norse plain of Asgard, where they team up with a werewolf, a sorcerer, and an army of frost giants for an epic showdown against vicious Valkyries, angry gods, and the hammer-wielding Thunder Thug himself.
