AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
AN INSTANT USA TODAY AND INDIE BESTSELLER
Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard, has always managed to save the day—but, in this powerful entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dresden Files, can he save himself?
One year. 365 days. Twelve months.
Harry Dresden has been through a lot, and so has his city. After Harry and his allies narrowly managed to save Chicago from being razed to the ground, everything is different—and it’s not just the current lack of electricity.
In the battle, Harry lost people he cared about. And that's the kind of loss that takes a toll. Harry being Harry, he’s doing his level best to help the city and his friends recover and rebuild. But it’s a heavy load, and he needs time.
But time is one thing Harry doesn’t have. Ghouls are prowling Chicago and taking out innocent civilians. Harry’s brother is dying, and Harry doesn’t know how to help him. And last but certainly not least, the Winter Queen of the Fae has allied with the White Court of vampires—and Harry’s been betrothed to the seductive, deadly vampire Lara Raith to seal the deal.
It's been a tough year. More than ever, the city needs Harry Dresden the wizard—but after loss and grief, is there enough left of Harry Dresden the man to rise to the challenge?

“One of my friends read this before me and described this as a ‘transition book’ as it is a book very much about what was, what is, and what is coming. Dresden is broken by grief, dealing with a huge amount of responsibility, and just barely surviving after the events in the previous book. The stakes are still just as high, but he is in such a bad place that he is functioning… just. Butcher is one of my favorite ‘popcorn’ authors (I will always read and enjoy) but this book is different as it reads more like a ‘how to’ on addressing and overcoming trauma than a magical romp. I spent most of the book just wanting to give everyone hugs, including myself.”

“This book felt like a return to form for Dresden, while also defining a new normal, and it was immensely satisfying after the last several fast paced installments. The emotions were complex and very real, and I loved getting to see so clearly Harry’s impact on others, how he has inspired them to do their best and also take care of each other.”
