The year is 1998. Yancy Lazarus-bluesman, gambler, mage, and professional fix-it man-has been working for the Guild of the Staff for over twenty-five years. Handling ugly problems no one else wants to touch. Mostly by breaking things, blowing 'em up, or otherwise meting out Guild-sanctioned justice, Rambo-style. His next assignment will be his last. A Guild operative, with a headful of dangerous secrets, has gone missing inside the court of the High Tuatha De Danann: ye olde Irish gods of badassery.

And even if they do get to the bottom of the diabolical mystery, nothing will ever be the same, because one of their number isn't coming home ...
