The plot kicks off with a deceptively simple premise: Atticus possesses an ancient, legendary sword called Fragarach (Answerer). The problem? The Irish god of love, Aenghus Óg, wants it. Badly. For centuries, Atticus has been on the run from this deity. When Aenghus finally tracks him down in the Arizona desert, Atticus decides he is tired of running. He enlists the help of his loyal Irish wolfhound, Oberon (with whom he speaks telepathically), a hot-tempered Slavic witch, and a legal loophole.
