Peace Talks Chapter 1, Demonreach Pentacle, and Book Deals!

This week’s Drop includes the long-awaited launch of the Demonreach pentacle variant, a discount on Blood Rites and the Parallel Worlds anthology, and the first chapter of Peace Talks. Let’s do this thing!

Peace Talks: Chapter One

Chapter One of Peace Talks is available to read now on Jim-Butcher.com!

This summer brings not one but TWO Dresden Files novels. Peace Talks arrives July 14th, and Battle Ground hits September 29th. We recommend that folks buy from their favorite local independent bookstore, though if that’s not possible, fans in the US can do the next best thing by preordering through Bookshop.org. You can order from a variety of other places and in audio and electronic formats through the Jim-Butcher.com store. Fans in the UK can order from a variety of retailers through Little, Brown or on Amazon UK.


Demonreach Pentacle Launches

Demonreach Pentacle

Fans voted, and it’s finally here: Badali Jewelry’s 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Demonreach Pentacle! This gorgeous synthetic opal has flecks of green and black that put us in the mind of running (or parkouring) through the island’s crystalline tunnels.

The Badalis are also running a fundraiser to help recoup the loss of income resulting from the cancelation of the con season. Three donors to their GoFundMe campaign will be randomly selected to receive a custom illustration of their favorite character from illustrator Adam Mathison-Sward. If you’re in a position to donate or buy a piece from any of their lines, please do! If not, they’d appreciate a signal-boost for their campaign.


Books On Sale

The electronic edition of Blood Rites is on sale for $1.99 across US retailers through June 13th!
