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 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. "

    " 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. "
