New York Times best-selling author Kevin Hearne returns to the world of his beloved Iron Druid Chronicles in a spin-off series about an eccentric master of rare magic solving an uncanny mystery in Scotland.
"A terrific kick-off of a new, action-packed, enchantingly fun series." (Booklist)
Al MacBharrais is both blessed and cursed. He is blessed with an extraordinary white moustache, an appreciation for craft cocktails - and a most unique magical talent. He can cast spells with magically enchanted ink and he uses his gifts to protect our world from rogue minions of various pantheons, especially the Fae.
But he is also cursed. Anyone who hears his voice will begin to feel an inexplicable hatred for Al, so he can only communicate through the written word or speech apps. And his apprentices keep dying in peculiar freak accidents. As his personal life crumbles around him, he devotes his life to his work, all the while trying to crack the secret of his curse.
But when his latest apprentice, Gordie, turns up dead in his Glasgow flat, Al discovers evidence that Gordie was living a secret life of crime. Now Al is forced to play detective - while avoiding actual detectives who are wondering why death seems to always follow Al. Investigating his apprentice’s death will take him through Scotland’s magical underworld, and he’ll need the help of a mischievous hobgoblin if he’s to survive.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time
The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

I almost did not read this because of the reviews but that would have been a mistake.
Yes believe the other reviews most of them. Really fun book. really good addition to the iron Druid universe. Also believe that if you need a completely politics/social commentary free book, this would not be the right book for you. The author is not a conservative and the book contains 5-6 lines the touch politics. If your beliefs are shaken or you just can’t handle any commentary on the right now state of the world (sept 2020) in the authors opinion, do not read this. If you are ok by being told about the authors veiw of the world and have a awesome time back in the fully flushed world the writer make, then you are in for a treat. The characters are fun, sad, complex and interesting. It’s a cool and fresh look at how the secret iron Druid world works. Read it have fun.
Oh ya accents Portrayed are dense and if you have issues understanding accents you might want to all past this one. But if you listen to the sample and it’s ok then book is ok.
Good luck good reading and stay safe all.
