AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
AN INSTANT USA TODAY AND INDIE BESTSELLER
Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard, has always managed to save the day—but, in this powerful entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dresden Files, can he save himself?
One year. 365 days. Twelve months.
Harry Dresden has been through a lot, and so has his city. After Harry and his allies narrowly managed to save Chicago from being razed to the ground, everything is different—and it’s not just the current lack of electricity.
In the battle, Harry lost people he cared about. And that's the kind of loss that takes a toll. Harry being Harry, he’s doing his level best to help the city and his friends recover and rebuild. But it’s a heavy load, and he needs time.
But time is one thing Harry doesn’t have. Ghouls are prowling Chicago and taking out innocent civilians. Harry’s brother is dying, and Harry doesn’t know how to help him. And last but certainly not least, the Winter Queen of the Fae has allied with the White Court of vampires—and Harry’s been betrothed to the seductive, deadly vampire Lara Raith to seal the deal.
It's been a tough year. More than ever, the city needs Harry Dresden the wizard—but after loss and grief, is there enough left of Harry Dresden the man to rise to the challenge?

It reads as a book of a lone avenger. I relate. I live this life, & come from a family that's all been heavily involved with enlisting & volunteering. Presidents of unions,helping sick OR in recovery w/active addiction-2 types-terminal dis'ease.The book made me think of that impact on me through someone else's eye. The first rule of volunteer club: There's never time to be the victim or engage in thoughts of what about me's? As Harry said if you havent needed getting your own help yet you will

Once again Jim Butcher knows how to please his audience. The man is just brilliant on so many levels of the emotions scale. I don't think I've gone through more emotions in a book than I have in any of the Jim Butcher Dresden Files series and "Twelve Months" is no different. But this experience wouldn't be complete without the incredible talents of James Marsters narration as he brings Jim's magic to life. I can't think of two more perfectly matched people on this fiction planet. Thank you both for another great book

I needed this book. It's been far too long since the last one. the last 6 years have been a lot for everyone, and this book was like catching up with an old friend. Can't wait for Mirror Mirror !
