This is a rollicking urban-fantasy adventure featuring Atticus O'Sullivan. When he's not vanquishing villainous gods or dodging demons, 2,000-year-old Druid Atticus O'Sullivan can be found behind the counter of Third Eye Books and Herbs in modern-day Tempe, Arizona, minding his own business. But when an evil sorcerer snatches an ancient Egyptian tome of black magic, The Grimoire of the Lamb, Atticuspursues him to the Land of the Pharaohs - Egypt.

Unfortunately Atticus already has enemies in Egypt - including cat goddess Bast. She sends a feline phalanx after Atticus and his Irish wolfhound, Oberon. With fur still flying, Atticus must locate the sorcerer's secret lair - where he will face killer crocodiles, spooky sarcophagi, and an ancient evil.
