About this listen

 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.

Critic Reviews

Praise for the Dresden Files

“Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip Marlowe.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and Tanya Huff will love this series.”—Midwest Book Review

“Superlative.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves.”—Cinescape

“Butcher...spins an excellent noirish detective yarn in a well-crafted, supernaturally-charged setting. The supporting cast is again fantastic, and Harry’s wit continues to fly in the face of a peril-fraught plot.”—Booklist (starred review)

“What’s not to like about this series?...It takes the best elements of urban fantasy, mixes it with some good old-fashioned noir mystery, tosses in a dash of romance and a lot of high-octane action, shakes, stirs, and serves.”—SF Site

“A tricky plot complete with against-the-clock pacing, firefights, explosions, and plenty of magic. Longtime series fans as well as newcomers drawn by the SciFi Channel’s TV series based on the novels should find this supernatural mystery a real winner.”—Library Journal

“What would you get if you crossed Spenser with Merlin? Probably you would come up with someone very like Harry Dresden, wizard, tough guy and star of [the Dresden Files].”—The Washington Times

This is one of my favourites in the Dresden Series. Very well written and the narration was excellent. Could not stop listening to this one.

Brilliant Story

Perfect combination of Jim and James. Have devoured every one of Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden books in print but James Masters’ reading gives the humour, characters and action a wonderful boost. Magnifico!

Wizard White Council loyalist Warden Morgan has done the unthinkable, he’s been found holding the weapon that killed a senior council member, and even more unthinkable, he’s sought out wizard PI Harry Dresden for shelter—the person who has a million reasons to hate Morgan. Harry knows better than to assume guilt and sets out to find the truth, putting him at odds with the White Council, the White Court of Vampires, and also with an ancient and hugely powerful shapeshifter who feeds on fear and despair. When Harry’s half-brother Thomas is kidnapped, it’s the icing on a very bitter cake.

Although bad things have happened to Harry over this generally upbeat series, the murky politics of the White Council makes this the most depressing in the series so far. Harry generally emerges physically battered but psychologically intact, but he experiences a few heartbreaks in this story. I hope this is just a bleak stepping stone to a better future for the Dresden world. Once again, the magical action / fight scenes are absorbing, the machinations and intrigue are compelling, and Harry and his noble allies are heartening. 🎧 US actor James Marsters has gotten better and better over this series, his audio performances are perfection!

Epic magical action adventure!
