Meet Harry Dresden, Chicago''s first (and only) Wizard P.I. Turns out the ''everyday'' world is full of strange and magical things - and most of them don''t play well with humans. That''s where Harry comes in.
But even a career of narrow escapes and supernatural shenanigans hasn''t prepared Harry for this. A vampire with a grudge has kidnapped his daughter. A daughter he never knew he had. Furthermore, this vampire plans to use her blood in a violent ritual sacrifice - designed to kill Harry, his ex-partner Susan and their child.
As allies are perilously thin on the ground, Harry must find a new source of strength. In the past, there had always been a line he wouldn''t cross, and he''s never given in to the full fury of his own untapped dark powers. But then, only his own life was at stake.
Magic - it can get a guy killed.
