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.
