Loki and Hel have slipped free of fate and mean to bring about Ragnarok, the Apocalypse, on Earth. They have gathered allies from the darker sides of several pantheons, and a battle that spans the globe is taking shape. Atticus O'Sullivan, an ancient Druid, will struggle just to survive it, let alone win.

The story splits across several fronts. Granuaile MacTiernan joins the immortals Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen against the Yama Kings in Taiwan, and the stakes there prove higher than she expected.

Archdruid Owen Kennedy works to contain fires, literal and figurative, from Bavaria to Peru. His aim is to keep the world safe for his apprentices and for the future of Druidry.

Atticus, for his part, enlists a tyromancer, an Indian witch and a trickster god. He hopes they give him enough of an edge to save Gaia and live to see another sunrise. His hound Oberon is along too, and expects a snack.

This is the final book of the Iron Druid Chronicles, an urban fantasy that sets the Druids against the gods of Asgard in a large-scale, multi-pantheon war with a streak of humor.
