In 'Peace Talks,' the highly anticipated new installment of the Dresden Files, Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, finds himself embroiled in a high-stakes diplomatic summit. The supernatural nations – including the White Council of Wizards, the Winter and Summer Courts of the Sidhe, and various other powerful factions – gather in Chicago to negotiate an end to an escalating global conflict. Harry is tasked by the White Council to act as security, ensuring the delicate talks remain civil despite millennia of grudges and mistrust. However, the veneer of peace quickly crumbles as dark political machinations, ancient rivalries, and insidious threats emerge, endangering not only the fragile truce but also the very fabric of Chicago itself. With allies and enemies converging, Harry must navigate a treacherous landscape of betrayal, magic, and impossible choices, all while protecting his city and the people he holds dear from forces far greater and more sinister than he could have imagined.
