Backup

by Jim Butcher · The Dresden Files series

A standalone Dresden Files novella following wizard-detective Harry Dresden as he juggles magical mayhem with the responsibilities of godfather to a young girl. Butcher delivers his signature blend of noir mystery, supernatural action, and wry humor in a more intimate tale. Urban fantasy comfort food that deepens series mythology while standing alone.
