Fresh from his 'death' and resurrection, Harry Dresden finds himself trapped in a new, chilling reality: he is the Winter Knight, bound to the service of Mab, the formidable Queen of Air and Darkness. His first impossible command? Assassinate an immortal being. As Harry grapples with his new fae-infused powers and the ruthless demands of his mistress, he uncovers a terrifying conspiracy. The Outsiders, ancient and malevolent entities from beyond reality, are making their move, threatening not just the supernatural world but all of existence. Harry must navigate the treacherous politics of Winter, confront long-buried secrets on the mysterious island of Demonreach, and potentially sacrifice everything to prevent an apocalyptic war, all while fighting for his own soul against the dark influence of the Winter Mantle. 'Cold Days' plunges Harry into a battle where the lines between good and evil are blurred, and the cost of survival could be higher than any death.
