Battle Ground

Harry Dresden has spent his career picking fights he should not win. Chicago's only professional wizard has stood against the vampires of the Red Court, the fallen angels bound to the Blackened Denarius, and the Outsiders, and he has usually come out the other side. This time the odds are of a different kind.

Something is heading for Chicago that is far more powerful than anything the world has faced in a thousand years. The Last Titan has declared war on the city, and she is bringing an army to bend humanity to her will and crush anyone who gets in her way.

Harry's task sounds simple and is close to impossible: save the city by killing a Titan. Whatever happens when he tries, it will change his life, the city, and the mortal world for good.

Battle Ground is the 17th novel in the Dresden Files, Jim Butcher's long-running series of urban fantasy mysteries about a wizard for hire.
