Plot Points Introduced
- Dresden's Debt to Mab: Debts can be purchased or transferred among the Fae. Queen Mab purchases Harry's debt to Leanansidhe and offers to cancel it once he has performed three favors for her. At the end of the book, he still owes her two.
- The Sidhe Court Political Structure: The Winter and Summer Courts each have a Mother, the Queen Who Was; a reigning Queen, the Queen Who Is; and a Lady, the Queen Who Is to Come. They are served by a mortal Knight, who is chosen to receive great power. Each Court rules for half the year. Since the beginning of time, the power alternates at Midsummer and Midwinter, maintaining the balance. However, any blood spilled on the Courts' Stone Table becomes power that is permanently transferred to the ruling Court at the time.
- Changelings: changelings are half mortal, half Fae children who must choose between their mortal or Fae heritage.
- Pizza Lord: Toot-toot's and his followers' name for Dresden.

Famous quotes containing the words plot, points and/or introduced:
““The plot thickens,” he said, as I entered.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“The men who carry their points do not need to inquire of their constituents what they should say, but are themselves the country which they represent: nowhere are its emotions or opinions so instant and so true as in them; nowhere so pure from a selfish infusion.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
