Summer Knight

Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, finds himself at rock bottom. Broke, emotionally shattered after his girlfriend's departure, and haunted by debts to his faerie godmother, he's a desperate man. Just when his luck seems irrevocably cursed, the powerful Winter Queen, Mab, appears with an offer he can't refuse: solve the murder of the Summer Knight, the right-hand man of the Summer Queen. This isn't just a simple whodunit; Harry is thrust into the treacherous, ancient politics of Faerie, where the balance between Summer and Winter is precariously held. The stakes quickly escalate beyond his personal freedom, as the fate of the entire mortal world hangs on his ability to uncover the truth and prevent a catastrophic war between the immortal courts. Navigating a labyrinth of powerful Fae, ancient magic, and deadly intrigue, Harry must use every ounce of his wit and magical skill to survive and unravel a conspiracy that threatens reality itself.
