Description:
Druid Atticus O’Sullivan hasn’t stayed alive for more than two millennia without a fair bit of Celtic cunning. So when vengeful thunder gods come Norse by Southwest looking for payback, Atticus, with a little help from the Navajo trickster god Coyote, lets them think that they’ve chopped up his body in the Arizona desert.

But the mischievous Coyote is not above a little sleight of paw, and Atticus soon finds that he’s been duped into battling bloodthirsty desert shapeshifters called skinwalkers. Just when the Druid thinks he’s got a handle on all the duplicity, betrayal comes from an unlikely source. If Atticus survives this time, he vows he won’t be fooled again. Famous last words.

I don't know how accurate the Native American Stuff was, but I liked the story with the skin walkers...

If I remember correctly Granuaille starts her apprenticeship in that volume. I liked the way they talk to the "elementals" of the region (I think it was Sonora). Wasn't there also a short story between volume 3 and 4 narrated from Granuailles POV, where she had to pass that apprenticeship test made by Flidais and Brighid? I liked how Hearne narrated Granuaille's POV.
