I don't know, the prologue had Lady Lancaster predicting
I think we can be pretty sure there was some sort of cataclysm, but if it was a terraforming accident on one planet of a multi-world empire the Builders were from, why not just evacuate to another world rather than eke out an existence under siege? Plus, the reference to horses as 'fantastical animals the supposedly existed long ago' strikes me as more suggestive that this is a wrecked Earth.
I'd actually wondered whether this might be some sort of far future post-apocalyptic Dresdenverse. Maybe the price that magic users pay has mutated from tech disruption to madness. The surface creatures could, potentially, be Fomor guard beasts that got out of control and infested the planet.
