Owen the archdruid and Slomo, his sloth friend, are about to see the world together when they are interrupted by Coriander, Herald Extraordinary for the First among the Fae. He asks them to do him the small favor of solving a supernatural murder. Helping Coriander takes Owen and Slomo to Granada, Spain, then to London, England, and Austin, Texas, where they confront an Irish goddess of wisdom, streak through Kew Gardens, and encounter some spriggans in a honky tonk. They get to see the world after all—just not the way they thought.
