Hey this connection might be a bit weak but I noticed two scenes that are sorta linked that have made me believe that Justin is really cowl.

One is this scene in fugitive
“Harry,” Cowl muttered, staring at me. “You are an almighty pain in my ass.” The fires leapt higher on the other side of the farmhouse, and the shadows darkened. Now we came to it. “Ash,” Cowl said. “Nix his aura if you please.”

You'll notice that cowl refers to Harry as Harry but also cowl says "if you please"

The second scene is one which occurs in ghost story

"In my peripheral vision, I saw Justin turn back to his book. “Once more, if you please.”

Again I know its sort of a weak link but the fact that cowl referred to Harry as Harry in a familiar way and the fact that cowl and Justin both say "if you please" also by Jim's own admission he's a lazy writer and if something is in the story it's for a reason, I'm convinced that Justin is Cowl.
What do yous guys think?

I also noticed, that there is no Maggie. Not even in Harry's thoughts. The only sign that there is a child in his life, was his answer to someone saying that people want better lives for their kids and Harry throws in "me too". That's it.

Harry does mention Maggie. He talks about money he's left aside for her and how he has barely enough left to run the castle for 18 months.

Harry was dead, uriel didn't just snatch Harry's soul out of his living body, angels aren't allowed to do that. Uriel had to wait till Harry was dead and then take the soul, before mab could get to it. Mab then had to repair the body and keep it functioning until uriel was done.
That's why uriel was allowed to offer Harry the chance to stay in the afterlife and work for him, an angel couldn't do that to a mortal who's alive. Once Harry made his choice it allowed mab to put Harry's soul in his body.

Would someone be able to explain to me this new winter Knight ability Harry has, "the banner" , mab said few winter knights had the power to manifest it, is it the ability to enlist and order fae from winter to fight for Harry? Can this ability be used all the time?

Hey everyone, I just wanted to warn people I was on good reads reading some battle ground early book reviews and most are spoiler free but I read one and got seriously spoiled for battle ground, it had two major spoilers, it's my own fault but I just wanted to warn others, one of the spoilers really annoyed me.

In battle ground Harry is worried that lara will use her last favour to stop him warning the paranet about the titan but in peace talks mab said that she's already agreed to take care of one of the favours and she's assigning Harry to take care of the other two and Harry took care of them in peace talks, so is it a mistake or am I missing something?

Amazing chapter, even though it was short. Can't wait for this book.

Harry is one of the most dangerous combat wizards on the council, that was confirmed by eb in changes and Harry's powered up since then. There is still about 40 of the old guard Wardens left, they are all over a century old and Harry says he wouldn't like to fight with any of them. I think they're led by thorsen, he was mentioned by the merlin in turn coat, Harry refers to him has the big swede, my guess is thorsen has taken over Morgan roles has Co captain of the Wardens. Luccio's experience is invaluable and she's still a skilled wizard but she wouldn't last 60 seconds in a fight with Harry he's too strong for her.

Marcone won’t hand over the castle, but if he ends up owing Harry a favour in BG, or Mab purchases it for him then yes, Harry could end up owning it. A castle abode of the Winter Knight would help forge a connection in the Never Never to Arctis Tor, and perhaps allow Harry to forge one through the Never Never to the cottage on Demonreach, much nicer than Lea’s Murder Garden. Lea may have a green thumb, but the rest of her hands are red right up to the elbow.

Commute? To a different time zone for the single parent of a school age child? Much easier to have someone like Chandler do a daily courier run with relevant reports.

Luccio still has all her experience and knowledge, so a senior Council position is still likely.

Harry is The Warden, the Senior Council cannot take that away from him and everyone will know (Lara, Listens and Eb know at the moment), their options are have to Harry in the tent p@ssing out, or outside the tent p@ssing in. If the main surviving body of Wardens look to Harry rather than the Merlin, then Harry gets to dictate terms like he did on becoming a Warden.

His terms I think would be along the lines

1. Continues to work out of Chicago;
2. Warlocks are rehabilitated or get the Demonreach Treatment, no executions;
3.Amnesty for all Wizard level talents who have not broken the laws (Mort and Elaine);
4. He continues to work as Winter Knight on behalf of all the Accorded Nations;
5. Better treatment and recognition of the Paranetters;
6. Gets to put up a Basketball goal in his new HQ

From the short story even hand its clear that marcone is expecting to kill Harry at some point, I don't know why you believe if marcone did owe Harry a favour, even a huge favour, why marcone would give away his fortress to Harry or why he would sell it or why mab would even want to purchase it. It would put marcone at a huge disadvantage if Harry and marcone ever fought.
Why would mab or Harry want a direct connection between the castle and arctis tor? Mab can travel where ever she wants as fast as she wants and Harry doesn't need a short cut to arctis tor. Also there's no reason for a direct line to the island and Harry wouldn't have the power to do that anyway.




Maggie will be in Bording school, St Marks.
35 mins is nothing.



No its not, the senior council wouldn't even let her run the wardens by herself, they're not going to make her a senior council member when there's hundreds of other wizards who haven't been body switched or had their minds tampered with and who have all their power and skills intact


I never said the council could remove him from being the WARDEN but eb and the gatekeeper have said that the majority of council members know nothing about the island or Harry's position so they could vote him off the council, Harry being the WARDEN doesn't earn him any special previleges with the council.
Lara doesn't know, not really, Harry never explained to her what the island is and it would be a big leap for Lara to jump from the wizard just trapped my brother to that island must contain thousands of evil entities and Harry is the WARDEN of this apparent prison.
Harry never got to dictate anything when he became a warden, in peace talks he said they forced him to join, he said he'd never leave Chicago but they weren't going to move him anyway and he said that luccio refused to give him any work hunting warlocks because she knew his feelings on the matter, she could have forced the issue if she wanted, there wouldn't of been much Harry could do about it.
It wouldn't matter that much if the wardens looked to Harry, Harry would only have the support of the wardens up to a certain point, they for example, wouldn't start a civil war if Harry started making demands of the merlin and he didn't comply, the merlin has God knows how many supporters on the council and he is the most powerful wizard on earth, he'd still be the boss.


Again Harry wouldn't be able to dictate much we've seen how powerful older wizards are compared to younger ones.

Harry wouldn’t leave Chicago, his family are there his friends are there and Demonreach is there. His trapdoor is there. He loves that trapdoor. More importantly Mab wants him there. He is there at Christmas Eve. More likely he would move a lot of Warden operations to Chicago, it is a much bigger transport hub than Edinburgh, meaning it has more connections with the Never Never allowing for better Warden deployment and the three largest problems in the last few decades have been the Red Court based in South America, the heirs of Kemmler (Chicago) and the Titan attack (also Chicago). Edinburgh not so much unless you count the problems building the tram system. If Luccio is tapped for the Senior Council it would be a little awkward for her to work day in and out with Harry (the sorry tale of workplace romances) so a bit of distance may be order.

Now if only Harry had access to a large fortified building with wards equivalent to Edinburgh in which to work out of with residential facilities, a gym, a boardroom for meetings and a large hall for operations/ training/ function space, he could work from home, a lot of people are doing it now and it is time to drag the White Council kicking and screaming into the world of 20th century employment practices.......hmmmm.

It would also help if Harry had an isolated but secure baby Warden training facility, call it Camp Spooky which doubled up as a supermax prison where he could set up a juvenile wing for young warlocks instead of executing them which as a former young warlock is something he strongly dissapproves of and handily can now practically end.....hmmmmmm.

His use of Demonreach will be widely known after Battle Ground, the Senior Council will have to recognise that he is The Warden, definitive article, not a Warden. The Wardens are named after The Warden, and I suspect Captain of Wardens exists as post when there is no Warden (definitive article). For all we know Warden was a Senior Council post like Merlin, or GateKeeper which lapsed when no one was stupid enough to claim Demonreach as a sanctum. Then along came Harry.  Chandler is a historian, he would know (now isn’t that handy that we just found that out, and he is for once in Chicago)

I would point out that there is a large amount of super warded stone on Demonreach in the ruined lighthouse, only a quarter of which was used to build the cottage, Harry can use the remainder for either building on his castle, or for building something like a bunkhouse for trainees on Demonreach itself, just need Alfred to block wardens from the Islands influence, which Harry has handily realised Alfred can probably do. This would be handy as there are increasing numbers of Wizards in need of training.

I think Harry is going to realise that he has through his choices and circumstance painted himself into a corner with the White Council and not the one he thought he had, instead of being pushed out, he is going to be pushed much further in.

I don't know why u think marcone would just hand over his castle to the white council or why Harry would want to live there.
I don't think Harry loves the trap door just the memory of his old apartment.
Luccio lost most of her power and skill due to being in a younger body, I'd be surprised if she was still eligible for senior council membership.
Luccio required someone to help her with the heavy lifting which is why Morgan was commanding the wardens, Harry could take over that position or be outright captain of the wardens. Depending on whether or not Luccio survives.
Harry was at the carpenters for Christmas because that's his family, Murphy is most likely dead.
We don't know how many of Harry's friends and family make it through battle ground.
Also I don't know how the council would go from dresden is dangerous he needs to be kicked out to let's let dresden move warden operations from Edinburgh the fortress of the White council to Chicago. Most likely as a reward for defeating the titan they would keep him in the council but would want to keep Harry close in case they need to remove him, that's the white councils style.
Edinburgh is also 35 mins from Chicago walking through the never never, so Harry could commute.

Jim said harry would be getting a new position of authority.
There's only around 50 old guard wardens left. If they get killed in battle ground and harry successfully destroys or locks up the titan, I reckon harry will be made captain of the wardens. The great hall Jim is referring to could be at Edinburgh.

DF Spoilers / Astral projection
« on: August 17, 2019, 01:35:14 PM »
Just wanted to know if astral projection is possible in the Dresden files. In the series we've only seen Harry do something similar to astral projection using little Chicago, but the Shadowman Victor Sells was able to the same thing without any tool like little Chicago. So could Harry, with no little Chicago send his astral form out into the world to investigate, observe etc. Thoughts?

DF Spoilers / Demense
« on: August 07, 2019, 11:11:33 AM »
Just wondering is it possible for Harry to create his own demense in the never never? We have a woj that a lot of the older wizards on the council have one and in Ghost Story Harry talked about how it would be pretty straightforward to create one with bobs help. But in ghost story Harry seamed to imply that he could only create one because he's a ghost if that's the case how do older wizards on the white council have one?
