Publisher's summary

Harry Dresden lives!

After being murdered by a mystery assailant, navigating his way through the realm between life and death, and being brought back to the mortal world, Harry realizes that maybe death wasn’t all that bad - because he is no longer Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard. He is now Harry Dresden, Winter Knight to Mab, the Queen of Air and Darkness.

After Harry had no choice but to swear his fealty, Mab wasn’t about to let something as petty as death steal away the prize she had sought for so long. And now, her word is his command, no matter what she wants him to do, no matter where she wants him to go, and no matter who she wants him to kill. Guess which one Mab wants first?

Of course, it won’t be an ordinary, everyday assassination. Mab wants her newest minion to pull off the impossible: kill an immortal. No problem there, right? And to make matters worse, there exists a growing threat to an unfathomable source of magic that could land Harry in the sort of trouble that will make death look like a holiday.

Beset by enemies new and old, Harry must gather his friends and allies, prevent the annihilation of countless innocents, and find a way out of his eternal subservience before his newfound powers claim the only thing he has left to call his own… his soul.

25 stars for every book in the series!!!!!!

This is my favorite series by far and my audible library contains nearly 400 books. Few of the books are as well written. Fewer still are so expertly narrated.

A very good read

The Dresden Files are all page turners. I opened the first book on Saturday morning with my coffee and set it down finished in the wee small hours of Sunday morning finished. I hardly noticed the passing of time. All the books have been like that for me. Thoroughly enjoyable stories written with humor. wit and flare.

Being A Good Guy Isn't Easy

News of Harry's death were obviously exaggerated. The "gang" gets back together. Mayhem ensues. Surprises.

Another great entry in the Dresden Files.

Picking up after Ghost Story, this book has all the great action, comedy, and "feels" we expect in the series. As always, James Marsters does a fantastic job with performing Dresden and his allies.
