Jim Butcher's breakthrough #1 New York Times bestseller starring
Chicago's only professional wizard, Harry Dresden.
When it comes to the magical ruling body known as the White Council,
Harry is thought of as either a black sheep or a sacrificial lamb. And
none hold him in more disdain than Morgan, a veteran Warden with a
grudge against anyone who bends the rules. But now, Morgan is in
trouble. He's been accused of cold-blooded murder--a crime with only
one, final punishment.
He's on the run, wanting his name cleared, and he needs someone with a
knack for backing the underdog. So it's up to Harry to uncover a traitor
within the Council, keep Morgan under wraps, and avoid coming under
scrutiny himself. And a single mistake may cost someone his head.
Someone like Harry...
