Twelve Months by Jim Butcher

Twelve Months by Jim Butcher is a deeply emotional and action-packed installment in the legendary Dresden Files series.

After a devastating battle that nearly destroyed Chicago, wizard-detective Harry Dresden is left to pick up the pieces both in the city and within himself. The war may be over, but the последствия linger. The city is broken, his allies are hurting, and the losses feel… heavier than ever.

Harry tries to help rebuild, to stay strong for everyone else. But new threats don’t wait. Ghouls stalk the streets, his brother’s life hangs by a thread, and a dangerous political alliance forces Harry into an unwanted engagement with a powerful vampire.

It’s a year of pressure, grief, and impossible choices. And the real question is how much can one person carry before they break?
