In this novel in Jim Butcher's #1 New York Times bestselling
series, an old debt puts Chicago wizard Harry Dresden in harms way...
Harry's life finally seems to be calming down. The White Council's war
with the vampiric Red Court is easing up, no one's tried to kill him
lately, and his eager apprentice is starting to learn real magic. For
once, the future looks fairly bright. But the past casts one hell of a
long shadow.
Mab, monarch of the Sidhe Winter Court, calls in an old favor from
Harry. Just one small favor he can't refuse...one that will trap Harry
Dresden between a nightmarish foe and an equally deadly ally, and one
that will strain his skills--and loyalties--to their very limits.
And everything was going so well for once...
