Cold Days

Harry Dresden has been murdered, resurrected by Mab as her Winter Knight, and handed an impossible first assignment: kill an immortal. Back in Chicago for the first time since his death, Harry finds his city subtly but unmistakably changed, his friends operating without him, and an ancient threat gathering at the borders of reality that could annihilate countless lives. The fourteenth Dresden Files novel is both a triumphant return and a reckoning, forcing Harry to confront what serving the Winter Court has already begun to cost him.

James Marsters remains the definitive voice of Harry Dresden, having inhabited the character across thousands of hours of audio. His narration in Cold Days crackles with Harry's sardonic wit even as the tone grows darker and more consequential than earlier installments. At nearly nineteen hours, this is one of the longer entries in the series, but Marsters holds the listener through every supernatural set piece and character-driven quieter moment. The audiobook format suits Butcher's first-person prose particularly well, and Marsters has long since made it feel like the natural medium for these stories.
