Knowing Morgan who is itching to execute Harry, Dresden must find the real culprit, for the Council cannot lose its most accomplished combat commander.
Mab, the Winter Queen, is calling in that favor from Harry. One small favor that will trap him between a nightmarish foe and an equally deadly ally.
Harry Dresden, the only wizard in the Chicago phone book, encounters a supernatural assault straight out of a horror film, malevolent entities that feed on fear, and a friend’s out-of-control daughter.
Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only practicing wizard, is up to his neck with a vampire duel, hitmen, a missing Shroud of Turin, a handless headless corpse, and his ex-girlfriend.
It’s not enough to battle flying monkey demons and rescue puppies, now Thomas needs help on a porn film set. And the demon’s sigil is the only cool spot on Harry’s hand.
Harry realizes that maybe death wasn’t all that bad. Because he is no longer Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard, but in thrall to Mab.
The Guild, reluctantly, needs Alex to solve Kara’s uncle’s “suicide”. When an army of powerful telepaths loses their marbles, suddenly it’s a game of life or death.
The Change was a blinding white flash that destroyed all electronics, made fuels inoperable, changed the laws of physics, and created the most terrible global catastrophe for the human race.
