In 'Storm Front', the first electrifying installment of the Dresden Files series, Jim Butcher introduces us to Harry Dresden, the only practicing professional wizard in modern-day Chicago. Working as a consultant for the Chicago Police Department, Dresden gets embroiled in the investigation of a grim double homicide marked by the dark strokes of black magic. As he delves deeper, he finds himself face-to-face with a malevolent black mage, setting off a treacherous game of magical powers and wits. This entry paints a world where the supernatural lurks just under the veneer of the everyday, a world Harry Dresden stands as gatekeeper, protector, and occasionally, the target.
