when does harry dresden become the winter knight?
changes
during the events of the novel "changes", harry takes up the mantle of the winter knight. it is a position of incredible power, giving harry access to the abilities of the winter sidhe, though ironically, he still complains of his aversion to cold, something the position failed to take away. this gives him substantially more stamina, speed, and strength in both the physical and magical sense, improved ability with "ice magic" which he either lacked or was reluctant to use prior to his appointment, and give him greater protection from physical attacks. it is presumed that harry will hold the mantle of winter knight until he dies, as only with the death of the old knight can a new one be named (though jim butcher has stated that harry is still the winter knight in the novel "ghost story").
harry dresden
as the story begins, harry is in arctis tor where he is nursed back to health by sarissa, a member of the winter court and a servant of mab, the winter queen. his recovery culminates in a winter court party, serving both as an introduction of the new winter knight and as harry's surprise birthday party. during the party he is set up by maeve, the winter lady, who sets a number of events in motion in an attempt to kill him. with help from sarissa and advice from kris kringle, he defeats maeve's minions and asserts himself as the winter knight before the entire winter court. mab, quite satisfied at this outcome, gives harry his first mission as the new winter knight: kill maeve.
