Publisher Description
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...

"Whoa, just as I was starting to doubt Mr. Butcher's interest in his own series (I'd been put off by the three books around Dead Beat), but after White Night and this book, I'm champing at the bit to catch up to the next book, Changes. It just... WORKS this time. Harry is back in the "At least 80% in the right, no questions" camp and asses are being kicked and names are being taken."

" this book sets a great scene for the lengths Harry will go. also, that he is finally learning to broaden his thinking and plans "
— Jeffery Joseph, 10/23/2017 -
" Another fantastic, frantic-paced mystery! I especially like Mouse's developing character and the continuing inclusion of the Za-Lord's Guard. "
— Chaos, 2/17/2014 -
" The first book I've read of the Dresden files (which I know is weird, since it's the latest in the series.) An excellent read; I'm definitely going to look into more of this author's work. "
— Matthew, 2/3/2014 -
" Excellent addition to "The Dresden Files" universe by Jim Butcher. I was able to completely read this novel within two days it was so good. I highly recommend this to any Dresden fan. "
— Wilford, 1/24/2014 -
" This is one of Jim Butcher's best! I can't say for certain that it's my favorite because it's been so long since I've read some of the earlier books so it's hard to compare, but it's definetly high on my list. Never once was I bored and it really plays with your emotions, especially at the end. "
— Mandy, 1/17/2014 -
" So this was the first Dresden book where I knew who the bad guy was pretty much as soon as they were introduced. The story took some great turns and was a solid ride, nonetheless. "
— Sarah, 11/5/2013 -
" I can't help despising and loving you at the same time, Dresden. Like, you're the epitome of all things that make a great hero, for me, and all that bullshit that makes me want to break persons nose, and never read another book with you in it. "
— Oni, 10/24/2013 -
" Once again, Mr. Butcher tops the book before. This book is one hell of a ride. Bring an oxygen tank, because you'll need it to catch your breath. Starting the next book makes me a little uneasy. Don't worry. I'll do it. "
— Mary, 10/21/2013 -
" It was an awesome book, funny, well written and I really enjoyed it. If you haven't checked out Butcher's Dresden books, give it a shot. "
— Daniel, 10/19/2013 -
" Another fine entry in the Dresden series. The skinwalker was an exceptionally scary opponent. "
— Pat, 10/1/2013 -
" Intense read. I think it's he best of the series so far. "
— Perry, 9/21/2013 -
" Jim Butcher writes a namby-pamby fantasy novel where the main character says "frickin" and is as watered down and bland as can be. "
— William, 9/7/2013 -
" I always love the Harry Dresden books and this one was particularly interesting to me because we got to find out more about the senior Wardens in this book. "
— Syrdarya, 9/4/2013 -
" I love Dresden. wish syfy would bring back the dresden files. sigh. "
— Michele, 7/5/2013 -
" Book eleven (?) and still a good read. "
— Beth, 6/23/2013 -
" Read like a transitional book in the series. The plot was intricate enough to make me read slowly and it was nice for Molly to earn her keep. However, if I can guess the traitor, Butcher is too obvious. "

" The continuing story of Harry Dresden is just as good as the first one. I can see this becoming a TV series someday. There is certainly enough action, fantasy, and adventure to keep us all reading. "
— Penny, 5/27/2012 -
" War or peace? Harry must decide! "
— Vampiress_demitri, 2/13/2012 -
" A pretty good book in a very good series. For urban fantasy, this is one of the best. "
— Jen3n, 10/29/2011 -
" Mr. Butcher did not disappoint. Ending was a little upsetting, but life can't always be roses. Still loving Harry. "
— Joanna, 10/14/2011 -
" One of the best of the later Dresdens!! "
— Lorebound, 8/22/2011 -
" More of the same. Style quirks I used to find amusing are getting annoying. Mr. Butcher should wrap up this series while he's ahead. "
— Ken, 5/24/2011 -
" Continues to build upon the interesting universe that has been established in previous novels, but I don't have any real commentary that wouldn't be a summary of the narrative. "
— Michael, 5/18/2011 -
" After a slow start, these books are finally emotionally engrossing. Can't wait to read Changes,but will then have to wait two months for the next one, ack! "
— Mary, 5/11/2011 -
" I enjoy these wizard / detective novel set in Chicago "
— Sean, 4/28/2011 -
" This one had some hanging plot ends somewhat akin to series continuity errors, but MAN do I ever love these books. I wish I would never run out of them. "
— Kate, 4/24/2011 -
" Now, this was really tragic and dark part of this series. Morgan died and Harry's brother Tomas got tortured...Jeez Jim, you don't do anything half hearted, do you ? Anyway in general this part was really enjoyable full of action, good analogues and pulling plot. HIGHLY recommended book!! "
— Meggie, 4/21/2011 -
" Ok if you're a Dersden files fan. "
— Patiki, 4/13/2011 -
" An excellent entry in the Harry Dresden series, slightly spoiled by one glaringly obvious problem with the identity of the traitor. "
