One of Atticus' few weakness is his lust. Throughout the series, Atticus is faced by various mythological and human enemies, and continues to live through a mix of paranoia, cunning, layers of planning and sometimes the help of others.

He has lived all over the world, and finally settled in Tempe, Arizona because it is a two hour drive from the nearest trees that allow Faeries to enter this plane. He has lived through the Roman Empire, Invasion of the Huns, Persecution of Christians before and after the reformation, the discovery of the New World, and both World Wars. Living over 2000 years has made Atticus cynical, stoic, world-weary, and very used to being alone. These tattoos connect him to the earth, and are the conduits of his power. His main trait that identifies him are a series of connected tattoos running up his arm and down his right side, down to his right foot. His defining physical characteristics are his fiery red hair, and strong physical presence, and the similar build as a very, very fit 21 year old. And his new trainee Druid may not be all she seems.Ĭombining the magic of AMERICAN GODS by Neil Gaiman with the writing of Jim Butcher (THE DRESDEN FILES), and a sense of humor that is wholly original, this series promises to have great crossover potential for fans of genre fiction or just lovers of great stories.Atticus O'Sullivan, whose real name is Siodhachan O Suileabhain, is a 2100-year-old Irish Druid, the last of his kind. Having outwitted Thor and a coven of Polish witches, Atticus has more stalking him than the nosy and suspicious neighbour and the local law enforcement.

But while these years have been good to him - Atticus has become more powerful than he could have possibly imagined - The Morrigan, a very old god of death, has predicted death and doom for our hero, and it's up to Atticus, with help from a pride of werewolves, and a gorgeous bartender possessed by an Indian witch, to stay alive, hopefully for another thousand years. He's been on the run, guarding a very powerful sword from a very angry ancient Celtic god for over two millennia now. And that's where Atticus O'Sullivan, rare book salesman, herb peddler, and 2,000 year old Druid - the last of his kind -has decided to set up shop. Tempe, Arizona is as far removed from paranormal activity as is possible.
