New Releases by Jim Butcher

From the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Dresden Files comes an all-new, action-packed fantasy adventure set in the Cinder Spires universe. Benedict Sorellin-Lancaster hasn''t even broken in his lieutenant''s insignia when he''s summoned to meet with the Spirearch of Spire Albion himself for a very special--and very secret--purpose. The Spirearch needs Benedict to retrieve a bag he''s "misplaced" on the Colony Spire known as Dependence, which has strangely cut off all contact with the outside world. It''s a delicate mission at best, a potential bloodbath at worst. To this end, the Spirearch has supplied Benedict with backup in the form of three Warriorborn. But unlike the courageous lieutenant, this trio has formerly used its special gifts for crime, carnage, and outright bloody murder. And all of them were caught and imprisoned because of Benedict. Now, if they behave--and make it back alive--they''ll go free. But when the odd squad reaches Dependence, they soon discover something waiting for them: a horrific weapon that could shatter the balance of power among the Spires. And Benedict will have to bring his own Warriorborn skills to bear if he, his team, and Spire Albion are to have any hope of survival...

An instant New York Times bestseller! The fate of the Cinder Spires may be decided by crossed swords in the next exhilarating fantasy adventure from the author of the Dresden Files, in this New York Times bestselling series of noble families, swordplay, and airships. For centuries the Cinder Spires have safeguarded humanity, rising far above the deadly surface world. Within their halls, aristocratic houses rule, developing scientific marvels and building fleets of airships for defense and trade. Now, the Spires hover on the brink of open war. Everyone knows it''s coming. The guns of the great airship fleets that control the skies between the last bastions of humanity will soon speak in anger, and Spire Albion stands alone against the overwhelming might of Spire Aurora''s Armada and its new secret weapon--one capable of destroying the populations of entire Spires. A trading summit at Spire Olympia provides an opportunity for the Spirearch, Lord Albion, to secure alliances that will shape the outcomes of the war, and to that end he dispatches privateer Captain Francis Madison Grimm and the crew of the AMS Predator to bolster the Spirearch''s diplomatic agents. It will take daring, skill, and no small amount of showmanship to convince the world to stand with Spire Albion--assuming that it is not already too late.

Mab ist nicht zimperlich, schon gar nicht mit Drohungen gegen meine Freunde. Mein Opfer sollte Maeve, Mabs eigene Tochter, sein. War sie wirklich so gefährlich geworden, wie Mab behauptete?

Kleine Gefallen für Elfen erfordern immer einen hohen Preis. Der zehnte dunkle Fall des Harry Dresden. Mein Name ist Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, und als Magier musste ich schon so manchen Handel mit übernatürlichen Wesen eingehen. Als die Königin des Winterhofs der Elfen mich um einen »kleinen« Gefallen bat, wusste ich, dass ich in Schwierigkeiten steckte. Durch ihr Tun musste ich mich mit den mächtigsten Wesen des Sommerhofs anlegen, einen brutalen Verbrecherboss retten und meinem schrecklichsten Feind gegenübertreten. Dass ich diese Geschichte erzählen kann, beweist, dass ich überlebt habe – doch zu welchem Preis? Die dunklen Fälle des Harry Dresden: spannend, überraschend, mitreißend.

Mein Name ist Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, und ich bin jetzt ein Hüter des weißen Rates der Magier. Das macht mich zum wichtigsten Beschützer Chicagos gegen schwarze Magie. Und das Unheil brach auch gleich aus, kaum dass ich das Amt übernommen hatte. Ausgerechnet bei einem Horrorfilm-Festival stiegen die Monster aus der Leinwand. Schnell wurde mir klar, dass ein Schwarzmagier am Werk sein musste. Und langsam dämmerte mir, dass ich als Wächter nicht nur Beschützer war, sondern auch Richter – und Henker ...

Mein Name ist Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, und die vielleicht schrecklichsten Gegner, denen ich je entgegentreten musste, sind die Denarier. Ihre kämpferischen Fähigkeiten sind schrecklich, und die Listigkeit ihres Anführers wird vermutlich nur vom Höllenfürsten selbst übertroffen. Während ich versuchte, eine christliche Reliquie aufzuspüren, reichte nur ein Denarier, um mich fertig zu machen – und dabei gibt es dreißig von ihnen! Einen für jeden silbernen Denar, den Judas für den Verrat an Jesus erhalten hat. Zum Glück retteten mich drei leibhaftige Kreuzritter. Sie verlangten, dass ich mich aus ihrem Kampf heraushielt, denn es war prophezeit, dass ich sonst sterben würde. Doch sie kannten nicht die ganze Vorhersagung! Ohne mich würden die drei Ritter sterben, und Chicago würde vernichtet werden ... Die dunklen Fälle des Harry Dresden: 1. Sturmnacht 2. Wolfsjagd 3. Grabesruhe 4. Feenzorn 5. Silberlinge 6.

But even though Harry is the only game in town, business—to put it mildly—stinks. So when the Chicago P.D. bring him in to consult on a double homicide committed with black magic, Harry''s seeing dollar signs. But where there''s black magic, there''s a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry''s name... “A great series—fast-paced, vividly realized and with a hero/narrator who’s excellent company.”—Cinescape
