In Atticus OSullivans case, theyre upset enough to come after him to make sure he dies for real this time. Yet he cant remain in hiding anymore: He has to bind his apprentice, Granuaile, to the earth so that she can become the first new Druid in centuries. But the Roman god Bacchus wants mortal revenge for a slight against him, and he proceeds to act on the principle that Atticus should hate his life until it can be ended.

On top of that, an ancient vampire, whod like to remove Atticus and Granuaile as threats to his kind, is working on his own plan for their destruction.
