From the New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Druid Chronicles comes the

final book in the “action-packed, enchantingly fun” (Booklist) Ink & Sigil series, as an

ink-slinging wizard pursues the answer to a very personal mystery: Who cast a pair of

curses on his head?

Al MacBharrais has a most unusual job: He’s a practitioner of ink-and-sigil magic, tasked with

keeping order among the gods and monsters that dwell hidden in the human world. But there’s

one supernatural mystery he’s never been able to solve: Years ago, someone cast twin curses

on him that killed off his apprentices and drove away loved ones who heard him speak, leaving

him bereft and isolated.

But he’s not quite alone: As Al works to solve this mystery, his friends draw him into their own

eccentric dramas. Buck Foi the hobgoblin has been pondering his own legacy—and has a plan

for a daring shenanigan that will make him the most celebrated hobgoblin of all. Nadia, goth

queen and battle seer, is creating her own cult around a god who loves whisky and cheese.

And the Morrigan, a former Irish death goddess, has decided she wants not only to live as an

ordinary woman but also to face the most perilous challenge of the mortal world: online dating.

Meanwhile, Al crosses paths with old friends and new—including some beloved Druids and their

very good dogs—in his globe-trotting quest to solve the mystery of his curses. But he’s pulled in

so many different directions by his colleagues, a suspicious detective, and the whims of

destructive gods that Al begins to wonder: Will he ever find time to write his own happy ending?
