С верным псом Обероном ему придется вновь сражаться – с вакханками, злобными порождениями ада, и со старыми врагами, преследующими друида со времен второй мировой.

К несчастью, очень недовольный кельтский бог хочет присвоить этот меч себе и преследует Аттикуса веками. Друиду понадобятся вся его магия, вся помощь друзей – обольстительной богини смерти Морриган, оборотне-вампирского дуэта...
