Summary
The sequel to Afterimage
Harry’s trip into the past created a twinned universe, inextricably linked to his own. Returned to the present, the fate of both universes now rests on his (and his counterpart’s) shoulders. But when a friend asks for help, Harry embarks on an investigation into an angel’s murder to discover who - or what - stole his Grace.
And that’s the easy part.
Be warned, spoilers for all official works in the Dresden Files series abound.

Summary
When Harry's back was broken Harry called in an old favor from Sherman Blackstone. When a shifter changes, they can heal from injuries not tainted by silver. The Otherside of his self healed his back but it also returns him to the fold of the Wolfkin. After the events of Changes Harry has a lot of healing to do, but he didn't have to call in favor from Kincaid to keep from becoming a monster. Being one of the few who moved between the Veils as easily as breathing, made him ripe for the picking. Where before he was mostly ignored by the higher powers except in matters of Chicago, his newly rekindled ties to the Wolfkin and the power to move between worlds puts him on the radar of several powerful beings.
When the Clan Head dies (murdered) by someone unknown, the scattered clan members are called back to Wolf Lake for a vote. Powerful beings are invited to vote to decide who the new Clan Head will be, including one Nicodemus Archleone. Harry has to pick sides with which of the two main runners, Vivian Cates or Tyler Creed. He has to make a choice. Which of the two was the lesser evil?

Summary
Another death and another universe. He'd thought he succeeded that time in ending the forsaken cycle. Even allowing one of the Outsider. He'd hoped that it would finally be enough. Waking up in his office two weeks after killing Victor Sells however proved him wrong. He was so tired. He wondered what would change with this new universe.
Nicodemus never thought he'd receive his own soulmark. It had been over two thousand years since he was born and not once was he ever blessed with a mark. Until one day when he was passing through Chicago and a mark appeared on his forearm. It was a large wolf with black fur with deep dark eyes. It seemed he wouldn't be passing through Chicago as he planned.

Summary
Harry is done with everything and especially Mab's manipulations by the time he is made to repay her debt to Nicodemus. At this point in his life, all he wants is some peace and quiet. He didn't want to be apart of this in the first place. So he stops fighting as he normally would and that gets attention.
Nicodemus expected anger and constantly fighting with Dresden to keep him under control. But it seemed that Dresden lived to surprise him. If anything he seemed resigned to his fate. He didn't mouth off like Nicodemus was used to and it immediately set him on edge. Nicodemus decides to keep him back to figure out what happened.

Summary
Something that Nicodemus has hidden over the years, is that when a new host picks up a Blackened Denarius coin they are bonded to the first older Denarian they come into contact with. When Harry picks up Lasciel's coin, Nicodemus was there to ensure it was he who Harry was unknowingly bonded to. Nicodemus stays in Chicago and watches the wizard struggle with the new instincts drawing him to the Denarian.
Harry doesn't know what's wrong with him since he's picked up the coin. It's like there's a voice in the back of his head and it's driving him to someone- or something. Fighting against it is almost physically painful. The worst part about all this is that he doesn't know why.

Summary
Sometimes Molly envies the dearly departed. Dying is easy. Living is a real bitch.
It seems the world is now divided into two timelines—Before Dresden's Death and After Dresden's Death. BDD wasn't perfect, but it was a damn sight safer than ADD, where every creepy crawly wants to carve out a piece of Chicago real estate. Armed with what she can scrape together and the backing of a notorious mobster, Molly is doing what she can to keep her town safe. But often, it's too little, too late. The Fomor are loose, and it seems only a matter of time before one of them punches her ticket, dealing another devastating loss to the Carpenter Family.
Worse, the bulk of the Brighter Future Society refuses to put their trust in the city's new, darker magical mascot. You know your life has gone downhill when the only sympathetic ear belongs to Gentleman John Marcone. But catching a ride in hell's handbasket seems par for the course. Sometimes, she's pretty sure she never got off. An assortment of short stories pre and post-Ghost Story.
