The Archdruid #1
Mythic Druid
Greek gods. Ancient sorcerers. One very pissed-off druid.
I saved the world—now I have to save everything I love.
This time I’m up against the gods of Olympus, and they’ve decided I’m public enemy number one. Hera is pulling strings from the shadows, and she’s brought some truly nasty surprises to the party.
There’s a psychopathic demigod with enough power to turn me into a smear on the pavement, plus ancient sorcerers wielding eldritch magic that makes even my druidic war arts look like amateur hour.
Normally, I’d say bring it on.
But I’ve got a found family to protect, vulnerable apprentices who rely on my leadership, and an alpha werewolf girlfriend who’s ready to take our relationship to the next level.
I’ve survived fae assassins, vampires, monsters, and more apocalyptic disasters than any reasonable person should have to endure. I’ve even managed to piss off a few gods along the way.
This time, though, I might have finally bitten off more than I can chew.
Because when the gods decide you’re their enemy, there’s nowhere in The World Beneath you can hide.
And if I can’t stop them...
My legacy dies with me.

Technically the first book in the Archdruid series, but I look at it as continuing the Colin McCool series.
While Colin's apprentice druids are fending for themselves he has found himself in the crosshairs of most of the Greek pantheon, led by Hera. While l won't say what brings this on(because spoilers) he quickly finds himself in a battle mentality.
Another great Colin McCool book, perhaps among the best.

The universe has decided that Colin’s life isn’t complete unless some beings once considered deities by humanity are actively wanting to makw Colin’s life as difficult as possible, especially in what would normally be a happy occasion. Poor Colin! And family aren’t always looking after your best interests

Colin went Greek and they didnt like it.
Amazing work. Had me on thr edge of my seat and even had a scene where I teared up. Great references to the Apprentice trilogy and Easter eggs for longtime fans.
That ending? It brought out my own Fomorian side.

Archdruid Indeed
Filled with intrigue and subterfuge, Colin’s latest adventure has more twist and turns then a Grand Prix race. As Colin continues to grow in his power, his life certainly is not going to get any easier.

Very good story and the very end left me wanting the next book in the series. Can’t wait for Collin’s next adventure.
