Harry has been battered and blasted all throughout the series, even being brought back from the dead. Now he is the Winter Knight, sworn to serve the Winter Queen, Mab, for the rest of his life. It seemed as though Harry was finally backed into an impossible corner that even he would not be able to escape - after all how could he outwit a fairy queen when without her continued intervention Harry would be left a helpless cripple. Ah, but this is Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden here, named after no less than three magicians. Of course Harry will find a way to make his current situation work. Not only is he our Winter Knight, he is also our White Night.
In COLD DAYS, Harry is reunited with characters that over time have remained steadfast and true. There is his protege, Molly, who continues to grow stronger in her spiritual ways, Bob, who "was a spirit of air, or intellect, or any one of a great many terms used to describe such beings," and usually good for a bit of comic relief. There's Toot-toot, a leader of a crew of tiny faeries who can be convinced to take on nearly any task in exchange for pizza. Butters is back, as is Dresden's vampire brother, Thomas. And of course, there's Karrin Murphy.
These books have a strong myth arc, so start at the beginning and watch Harry become the Wizard he is today.
