Grave Peril is the story of Harry Dresden, Chicago resident and wizard detective, and his friend Michael Carpenter who is a modern knight of the Church. The two are troubled by an old case and by a nightmarish creature pursuing them and stirring up the dead of Chicago into a frenzy. Eventually it is revealed that worse things are afoot when Harry's girlfriend is attacked by vampires and he himself is dragged into a war with the bloodthirsty beasts.
