Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard, is about to have a very bad day….
Because
as Winter Knight to the Queen of Air and Darkness, Harry never knows
what the scheming Mab might want him to do. Usually, it’s something
awful.
He doesn’t know the half of it….
Mab has just
traded Harry’s skills to pay off one of her debts. And now he must help a
group of supernatural villains—led by one of Harry’s most dreaded and
despised enemies, Nicodemus Archleone—to break into the highest-security
vault in town so that they can then access the highest-security vault
in the Nevernever.
It’s a smash-and-grab job to recover the
literal Holy Grail from the vaults of the greatest treasure hoard in the
supernatural world—which belongs to the one and only Hades, Lord of the
freaking Underworld and generally unpleasant character. Worse, Dresden
suspects that there is another game afoot that no one is talking about.
And he’s dead certain that Nicodemus has no intention of allowing any of
his crew to survive the experience. Especially Harry.
Dresden’s
always been tricky, but he’s going to have to up his backstabbing game
to survive this mess—assuming his own allies don’t end up killing him
before his enemies get the chance…. From Goodreads.
I have been waiting for this book and it did not disappoint. It is quite difficult for Harry being the winter knight as it often works against his own ethics and now he also has a psychic parasite in his head that will kill him.
Mab, the winter Queen, threatens him to work for a fallen angel to pay of a debt she owns him.
I like that Karrin, Michael and Butters are back, all with quite important roles to play.
This is a fabulous series that I recommend to anyone who likes fantasy or paranormal books.
