Meet Harry Dresden, Chicago's first (and only) Wizard PI. 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.

Harry's had worse assignments than going undercover on the set of a adult film.  Dodging flaming monkey poo, for instance.  Or going toe-to-leaf with a walking plant monster.  Still, there's something troubling about this newest case.  The Producer believes he's afflicted by a sinister entropy curse - but its the women around him who are dying, in increasingly spectacular ways.

And Harry only got involved as a favour to Thomas, his flirtatious, self-absorbed vampire acquaintance of dubious integrity.  Thomas has a personal stake in the case Harry can't work out, until his investigation leads him straight to Thomas's oversexed relatives.  Harry's about to discover the skeleton in Thomas's family closet: a revelation that will change Harry's life forever.

Luckily, however, he's not entirely alone.  Although most people don't believe in magic, the Chicago P.D. has a Special Investigations department, headed by his good friend Karrin Murphy. They deal with the... stranger cases.

It's down to Karrin that Harry sneaks into Graceland Cemetery to meet a vampire named Mavra. Mavra has evidence that would destroy Karrin's career, and her demands are simple. She wants the Word of Kemmler - and all the power that comes with it. But first, Harry's keen to know what he'd be handing over. Before long he's racing against time, and six necromancers, to get the Word. And to prevent a Halloween that would truly wake the dead.

From amazon.com:

A dragon, a fae, and a pixie walk into a bookstore…

Sounds like a joke, right? For me, it’s just an ordinary day on the job. At least, it has been ever since my aunt disappeared and left me with her store, her cat, and a whole lot of unanswered questions.

My plan is to stay hidden. Pretend I’m human. Sell books, drink tea, and never ever talk about the dragon.

But it turns out my aunt had secrets, and a lot of those secrets seem to involve me ending up dead. To survive, I’m going to have to learn how to fight, even if it means placing my trust in a total stranger.

Draven is a half-fae assassin who’s as gorgeous as he is irritating, and his motives are less than clear. He might be willing to help me—for a price—but is it a price I’m willing to pay?

And if I accept his help, can I trust an assassin to keep the biggest secret of them all?

From amazon.com:

You know it’s time to reconsider your life choices when…

Where do I start?

Technically, it could have been worse. My visit to the dragon enclave could’ve ended with me being eaten. Somehow I survived—with a few new bruises—and now all I want is to go home. Back to Twenty-third Street. Back to my house, my cat, and my grumpy, bathrobe-wearing gargoyle roommate.

But nothing is as simple as it used to be. My store is in shambles, there’s a traitor running around loose, and every bounty hunter in Oklahoma seems to want a piece of my hide—literally. Worst of all? The man who just might be my mate has disappeared during a desperate attempt to save his brother’s life.

I’ve never been the sort of dragon to sit on my hands when my friends are in trouble, so I can’t help but get involved. But this time, it’s going to take more than a bit of dragon fire to keep my friends safe.

The fae queen has been making her own plans, none of which involve us surviving the next ten days. When we can’t seem to stay ahead of her magic or her mercenaries, the only chance to save my friends is a potentially deadly gamble—where a single mistake could bring disaster not only for us, but for every Idrian refugee on Earth.

Only one thing is for certain—I’m going to need a lot more tea.

From amazon.com:

What’s worse than a fae prince with murder on his mind?
How about a family reunion…
But with dragons.

The good news is, I survived the murderous fae prince. I also found my aunt and embraced my inner dragon. Everything should be going great, right?

If only. My aunt has disappeared again, there’s no news from my friends at the Fae Court, and now there’s a gargoyle terrorizing my customers. To make matters worse, my savings are running out, and I may lose the bookstore unless I can find a job.

So of course, that’s when fate decides I have it too easy, and my path suddenly collides with the one person I’ve been running from for nineteen years—also known as “Mom.”

My whole life, I’ve been told my family wants me dead, but the truth turns out to be a lot murkier than that. The only way to get to the bottom of all the lies is to take a little field trip to the dragon enclave, where I’ll be surrounded by stubborn, suspicious, short-tempered lizards, most of them not very happy to find out I’m still alive.

I’m about to get a crash course in dragon politics—which is just like regular politics, but louder. And with fire.

Lucky me.

Business has been slow lately for Harry Dresden.  Okay, business has been dead.  Not undead - just dead.  You would think Chicago would have a little more action for the only professional wizard i the phone book.  But lately, Harry hasn't been able to dredge up any kind of work - magical or mundane.

But just when it looks like he can't afford his next meal, a murder comes along that requires his particular brand of supernatural expertise.  A brutally mutilated corpse.  Strange-looking paw prints.  A full moon.  Take three guesses.  And the first two don't count...

As if being murdered wasn't enough, Harry's shade can't rest in peace. He learns that three of his loved ones are in mortal danger and only by discovering his assailant’s identity can he save them, bring criminal elements to justice, and move on.

It would just be easier if he could interact with the physical world, and had a (working) crystal ball, and had access to magic. And he’s far from the only silent presence roaming Chicago's alleys. Hell, he put some there himself. And now, they're looking for payback.

Harry has faced some terrifying foes during his career.  Giant scorpions.  Oversexed vampires.  Psychotic werewolves.  It comes with the territory when you're the only professional wizard in the Chicago-area phone book.

But in all Harry's years of supernatural sleuthing, he's never faced anything like this: the spirit world's gone loco.  All over town, ghosts are causing trouble - and not the door-slamming, boo-shouting variety.  These ghosts are tormented, violent and deadly.  Someone - or something - is stirring them up to wreak unearthly havoc.  But why?  Any why do so many of the victims have ties to Harry?

If Harry doesn't figure it out soon, he might just wind up a ghost hmself.

"A creepy and original addition to the urban
fantasy landscape." - Tanya Huff, Author of
Smoke and Mirrors

When Harper comes to in the hospital, she begins to feel a bit... strange.  She sees things that can only be described as weird - shapes emerging from a foggy grey mist, snarling teeth, creatures roaring.

But Harper's not crazy.  Her "death" has made her a Greywalker - able to move between our world and the mysterious, crossover zone where things that go bump in the night exist.  And her new gift (or curse) is about to drag her into that world of vampires and ghosts, magic and witches, necromancers and sinister artifacts.

Whether she likes it or not.

Greywalker is a perfect blend of hard-boiled P.I. and supernatural thriller.  It'll grab you from the first page and won't let you go until the last."

- The Miami Herald

A family of poor mages in exile in our world, existing in uneasy truce with other Families of Westil, the North clan lives in a rambling family complex, isolated in the hills of western Virginia.

Danny North knew from early childhood that his family was different and that he was different from them.  While his cousins were learning how to create the things that commoners called fairies, ghosts, golems, trolls, were-wolves, and other such miracles that were the heritage of the North family, Danny worried that he would never show a talent.  Everyone thought that he was a drowther, child of the mages born without magic.

But Danny is not a drowther.  Danny is a gatemage.  And when he figures that out, he knows that he'll have to run for his life.  There is only one thing that all the Families agree on: that no single clan can be allowed to open a gate back to their homeworld.  To prevent that, they have all agreed that any child who shows signs of being a gatemage will be killed, instantly.

"Mr. Card is giving a kind of tour of fantasy, possibilities while integrating them into his intricately imagined system of magic....  The hints of real history behind the families are especially enticing: I look forward to learning more."

Harry's other problem is an old friend's daughter - all grown-up and in trouble already. Her boyfriend insists he's innocent of something resembling a crime straight out of a horror film. This first impression turns out to be... well, pretty accurate, as Harry discovers malevolent entities feeding on fear. All in a day's work for a wizard, his dog and a talking skull named Bob.

Morgan, formerly his chief persecutor on the Council, has been wrongly accused of treason. Facing the ultimate punishment, Morgan needs someone with a knack for backing the underdog, however much that someone isn't interested. Soon, Harry is working to clear the less-than-agreeable Morgan's name, hiding from the Council and bounty hunters alike and seeking the true turncoat.

A single mistake may mean that heads - quite literally - could roll. And one of them might be his.

"Part Indian folklore, part detailed urban history, part PI procedural, part monster-from-the-depths horror story."


"Following in the tradition of Tanya Huff and Jim Butcher, this is a strong addition to the growing body of urban fantasy mysteries."

Harper Blaine was your average small-time PI until she died-for two minutes. Now Harper is a Greywalker, reading the thin line between the living world and the paranormal realm.  And she's discovering that her new abilities are landing her all sorts of "strange" cases.

But for Seattle investigator Harper Blaine, her own case may prove the most difficult to solve.  Why did she - as opposed to others with near-death experiences - become a Greywalker?  When Harper digs into her own past, she unearths some unpleasant truths about her father's early death as well as a mysterious puzzle.  Forced by some very demanding vampires to take on an investigation in London, she soon discovers her present troubles in England are entangled with her dark past back in Seattle - and her ultimate destiny as a Greywalker.

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.

A series of apparent suicides rings alarm bells with the police, and Harry is hired. At the first crime scene he hits pay dirt, discovering an unmistakable magical taint. There's also a message especially for him, and it ain't pretty. The 'killings' will continue if Harry can't halt his tormentor, but the evidence implicates his half-brother, which just doesn't add up.

Unfortunately Harry's digging around attracts some powerful vampires with a stake in the result. Soon, whichever way he turns, he will find himself outnumbered, outclassed and dangerously susceptible to temptation. And if he screws up, his friends will die.
