Murphy has organized a team consisting of Will, Georgia and the Alphas, Butters, the ParaNet, and Daniel and Molly Carpenter to hold off the forces that now feel free to invade what was once under Harry Dresden's protection. After being in denial of Harry's death, Murphy finally comes to accept it after Mortimer Lindquist, Harry's ectomancer friend and Mister confirms that it was in fact Harry's ghost, while acknowledging she didn't want to believe the worst which would mean that Harry is really gone.
