Shattered: The Iron Druid Chronicles, Book 7 characters

By Kevin Hearne

Every entry below is hidden until you open it, and each names the chapter the character first appears in.

Atticus O'Sullivan (Protagonist)

Appears from the start

An ancient Irish Druid coping with the death of the Morrigan and the widening consequences of Loki's freedom. Learning that his own teacher still lives gives him a personal rescue to attempt while he and Granuaile begin operating on separate missions.

Granuaile MacTiernan (Protagonist)

Appears from the start

A fully bound Druid and Atticus's partner. She now carries her own responsibilities, speaks through a telepathic link with the earth, and follows a mission distinct from Atticus's work rather than remaining beside her former teacher.

Oberon (Supporting)

Appears from the start

Atticus's Irish wolfhound and telepathic companion. He stays with Atticus during the effort to recover Owen and supplies keen senses, loyalty, and a much more immediate view of danger than the Druids' long strategic concerns.

Orlaith (Supporting)

First appears in chapter 8

A young Irish wolfhound who forms a telepathic bond with Granuaile. She becomes Granuaile's companion on the new Druid's independent travels, much as Oberon accompanies Atticus.

Owen Kennedy (Protagonist)

Also known as Eoghan O Cinneide

First appears in chapter 2

Atticus's archdruid, missing for roughly two thousand years after being confined where time did not pass normally. Formidable, blunt, and accustomed to an ancient Ireland, he emerges to find that his student has become older and far more experienced than he expected.

Laksha Kulasekaran (Supporting)

First appears in chapter 8

A powerful Indian witch whose consciousness has survived across many bodies. Her earlier dealings with Atticus make her a known but complicated ally, and Granuaile answers her request for help against a supernatural enemy in India.

Brighid (Supporting)

First appears in chapter 16

The sovereign of the Tuatha De Danann. Owen's long disappearance raises questions about decisions made within the Irish pantheon, forcing Atticus to balance the need for answers against the danger of openly challenging her authority.

Manannan Mac Lir (Supporting)

First appears in chapter 16

An Irish sea god with authority over routes and domains that ordinary Druids cannot freely enter. His connection to Owen's confinement makes him central to Atticus's effort to understand why the archdruid vanished.

Loki (Antagonist)

First appears in chapter 24

The escaped Norse trickster whose plans threaten far more than Atticus personally. He works through deception, agents, and magical influence while the Druids try to determine how close his preparations have brought the world to Ragnarok.
