In the fourth novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series
featuring everyone's favorite wizard for hire, Harry Dresden is suckered
into the tangled--and dangerous--affairs of Faerie...
Ever since his girlfriend left town to deal with her newly acquired
taste for blood, Harry Dresden has been down and out in Chicago. He
can't pay his rent. He's alienating his friends. He can't even recall
the last time he took a shower. The only professional wizard in the
phone book has become a desperate man.
And just when it seems things can't get any worse, in saunters the
Winter Queen of Faerie. She has an offer Harry can't refuse if he
wants to free himself of the supernatural hold his faerie godmother has
over him--and hopefully end his run of bad luck. All he has to do is
find out who murdered the Summer Queen's right-hand man, the Summer
Knight, and clear the Winter Queen's name.
It seems simple enough, but Harry knows better than to get caught in the
middle of faerie politics. Until he finds out that the fate of the
entire world rests on his solving this case. No pressure or anything...
