Paranormal investigations are Harry Dresden's business, and Chicago is his beat as he tries to bring law and order to a world of wizards and monsters that exists alongside everyday life. And though most inhabitants of the Windy City don't believe in magic, the Special Investigations department of the Chicago PD knows better.

Karrin Murphy is the head of SI and Harry's good friend. So when a killer vampire threatens to destroy Murphy's reputation unless Harry does her bidding, he has no choice. The vampire wants the Word of Kemmler (whatever that is) and all the power that comes with it. Now Harry is in a race against time and six necromancers to find the Word before Chicago experiences a Halloween night to wake the dead?

They are still there. But Kaye's not a child any more. This time she is dragged into the thick of their dangerous, frightening world. A realm where black horses dwell beneath the sea, desperate to drown you where the sinister Thistlewitch divines dark futures and where dashing Faerie knights are driven to perform acts of brutal depravity for the love of their uncaring queens.

Once there, Kaye finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient power struggle between two rival Faerie kingdoms, a struggle that could end in her death.
