The Druidverse Urban Fantasy Novels
A Single Shared Urban Fantasy Universe...
Note: All covers and narration are by human artists. My covers are not done using AI; I just hire very talented artists.
All books in each of the following series take place within a single shared universe. The Druidverse™ is a world much like our own, but filled with magic, mythological creatures, and paranormal factions. This all operates behind a thin masquerade that hides the "World Beneath" from non-magical human society.
In Colin's world, Austin's World Beneath is ruled by a Faery Court and Queen. Other local factions include the Austin Vampire Coven, the Austin Werewolf Pack, and The Cold Iron Circle, which is an organization of human hunters and wizards.
While the human government is an outsider in The World Beneath, they seek to gain a foothold via CERBERUS, a shadowy, behind-the-scenes federal law enforcement agency that ostensibly polices the supernatural world.
Each of these factions coexists in a delicate balance with the others, a situation that results in significant political intrigue and drama throughout the various Druidverse™ novel series. As well, their machinations interweave to form a narrative backdrop that enhances reader immersion.
If you're looking for an urban fantasy world to explore with multiple series, numerous protagonists, complex politics and world building, and multiple stories and timelines, look no further than The Druidverse™ urban fantasy universe.
The Colin McCool Junkyard Druid Series
This is where it all started... The Colin McCool Junkyard Druid series. At the series' start, Colin has given up on magic and all things paranormal, taking refuge in his uncle's junkyard, surrounded by six acres of rusting iron and steel fencing. They say you can never go home again, but sometimes home comes for you... with teeth and curses.
Readers should note that Colin's story continues after the original 12-novel series in The Trickster Cycle, then in The Sylvan Cycle and The Archdruid Series.
The Trickster Cycle Series
What happens when a nascent druid master gets pulled into Trickster Local #113's schemes and machinations? Immeasurable magical mayhem, that's what. Follow along as Colin's story continues in this four-novel series, filled with ancient trickster gods, incredible magical battles, and exotic extraplanar settings.
The Sylvan Cycle Series
Mo' power, mo' problems... that sums up the challenges Colin faces in this continuation of the young master druid's story. What sacrifices must a druid make to save his order and the people he loves? What might he be required to give up in the process? And, is godhood worth the price?
Find out the answers to these questions and more as Colin seeks to rebuild the druid order while staying one step ahead of his enemies in the Celtic and Greek pantheons!
The Archdruid Series
Gods want him dead. The supernatural world wants him to lead. Too bad Colin McCool has never been good at dying or doing what he's told...
The last of the great druids has survived vampires, fae assassins, ancient monsters, and more apocalypses than any one man should have to endure. Now Olympus has turned its attention his way, Hera is plotting from the shadows, and his only shot at survival is reviving the ancient Druid Order before the gods decide his time is up. As if that weren't enough, his complicated relationship with Fallyn, the fierce alpha of the Austin Pack, has taken a turn neither of them saw coming.
To survive, Colin will have to embrace his destiny and claim his place among the powers of The World Beneath. Because becoming an Archdruid isn't about gaining power. It's about having the power to protect what matters most.
The Druid Apprentice Series
The Druid Apprentice Series follows Fiadh Reilly—an emotionally scarred young druid with a criminal record, a volatile family curse, and more power than she believes she deserves.
Set in the bestselling Druidverse®, this female-led Celtic urban fantasy explores what comes after disaster—when survival isn’t enough and redemption must be earned. Under Colin McCool’s ruthless mentorship, Fiadh must master magic that answers to will, navigate deadly fae politics, and decide what kind of druid she’ll become.
Perfect for readers who love grit, found family, slow-burn tension, and high-stakes supernatural intrigue rooted in Celtic myth.
