Twelve Months

It has been three weeks since the devastating magical attack on Chicago, leaving the city in complete disarray and wizard Harry Dresden’s life in shambles. His friends and his new fiancée are trying to help, offering support, a new apprentice, and a Valkyrie bodyguard, but the heartbreak and anguish may still be too much. The story explores the impacts of loss and grief, focusing on Harry’s dark, depressive state and the effect it has on his friends. The book serves as a pause as well as a setup for the series’ planned conclusion, an epic conflict with the eldritch creatures known as “the Outsiders.” Even as the crises pile up, Harry receives help and goodwill from unexpected sources. This outing explores Dresden’s mental state as his resilience is tested. The eighteenth of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files novels is presented in a deluxe collectible hardcover. The edition is printed on 80# Finch Opaque paper and features a full-color dust jacket with interior illustrations by Vincent Chong. Limited: 500 numbered hardcovers, signed by the author. Lettered: 26 copies, bound in leather and cloth, signed by the author, and housed in a custom traycase.
