No one's tried to kill Harry Dresden for almost an entire year, and his life finally seems to be calming down. For once, the future looks fairly bright. But the past casts one hell of a long shadow.
An old bargain has placed Harry in debt to Mab, monarch of the Winter Court of the Sidhe, the Queen of Air and Darkness-and she's calling in her marker. It's a 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.
It figures. Everything was going too well to last...
The tale begins when a magical force concentrates energy and blows up a building in Chicago. The city's only wizard, Harry Dresden, is drafted into action by canny portions of the Chicago PD. In his chatty first-person style, author Butcher describes a modern world filled with hidden but active esoteric creatures, forces, and societies--vampires, for example. James Marsters, who has narrated other installments in Butcher's Dresden Files series and who appeared in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel," is eerily right for this audiobook. If any negative criticism applies at all, it is that sometimes he speaks so softly that traffic noises would drown him out. Listen to his version of Bob, the apparition in a skull. It's spot-on.
