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.

Synopsis
In the third novel in the New York Times bestselling Iron Druid Chronicles, two-thousand year-old Druid Atticus O'Sullivan must take down the Norse god of thunder himself. "A page-turning and often laugh-out-loud-funny caper through a mix of the modern and the mythic." --Ari Marmell, author of The Warlord's Legacy
When the naysayers say, "Nay, don't mess with the man who wields the lightning bolts," ninety-nine times out of a hundred, the ancient Druid Atticus O'Sullivan would nod along and agree. But when multiple people convince him that Thor, the Norse god of thunder, needs to get got, he thinks maybe this is the one time he should ignore the advice of the wise--even if those sages include deities who tend not to be wrong about very much.
Because Thor has undeniably done somebody wrong--many somebodies, in fact, and Atticus doesn't think he can simply dismiss it as someone else's problem. Plus he has made promises that he doesn't feel he can break, promises that will take him away from Midgard to the planes of the Norse, where his actions will create ripples throughout the nine realms.
On top of that there's a turf war brewing amongst the vampires, a zealous group of mystic hunters called the Hammers of God running rampant, and a pack of werewolves who very much don't wish to see their leader taken off to Valhalla.
In order to avoid being the nail underneath the hammer Mj llnir, Atticus will need every ounce of Irish luck he can muster, and maybe the help of a few deities in his corner.
