Twelve Months
Harry Dresden has endured countless hardships, and his city has faced its own share of trials. After Harry and his allies barely managed to prevent Chicago from being reduced to ruins, everything has changed. The city is not the only thing transformed; the atmosphere is heavy with a sense of loss that cannot be ignored.
During the confrontation, Harry lost people close to him, and such a loss leaves deep scars. True to his character, Harry is doing everything he can to aid the city and support his friends in healing and rebuilding. Yet, the burden weighs heavily, and he needs time to process and recover.
Unfortunately, time is a luxury Harry cannot afford. Ghouls are lurking in Chicago, preying on innocent civilians. His brother’s life hangs in the balance, and Harry is at a loss for how to save him. To make matters worse, the Winter Queen of the Fae has formed an alliance with the White Court vampires, and Harry finds himself betrothed to Lara Raith, a seductive yet deadly vampire, as part of the arrangement.
This has been an incredibly difficult year. Now more than ever, the city relies on Harry Dresden the wizard. But after experiencing so much grief and loss, the question remains: is there enough of Harry Dresden the man left inside to face the coming challenges?
