This review contains spoilers. As it is near impossible to comment on any aspect of this story without giving away any spoilers from the previous 5 books. This review is going on the assumption that if you are reading this book or planning on reading this book you have the previous knowledge of the series as First Lord's Fury will not make any sense if you haven't read the other 5 books.

If you do not want the series spoiled, please do not read any further. Jim Butcher has long drawn out this story over the previous 5 volumes. Almost all of the clues for this eventual climax are there in the previous volumes. Some are laid out in the open and some of the clues appear inconsequential and up until now made very little sense. If so, what can be done to ensure a credible--and Christ-like--path forward? Absolute Power is required reading for anyone interested in the history of today's complex power structures--as well as anyone invested in religious, political, and social progress in the West.

On shore, a young woman, a known prostitute, is found drowned in a derelict boatyard. A man leaps to his death into the Thames, driven mad by poison and fear. The events are linked - but how? Courting danger in the opium dens and brothels of the waterfront, certain that the Blood lies at the heart of the puzzle, Jem and Will embark on a quest to uncover the truth.

Afterwards, Octavian's force reaches Riva and decides to assault the Vord-occupied city. Octavian uses his strength in furycrafting to bring down the cities walls, and after the battle his firecrafters burn the Vord larders, cutting their supply lines to the Calderon valley. Octavian's force then moves to the valley to pin the Vord force between his own legions and the valley's defenders.

While marching to the valley, the Queen herself makes an appearance and attacks Octavian's camp. She kills many and wounds Octavian. Meanwhile the Vord have begun to assault the valley.

Invidia goes to Amara in an attempt to betray the Vord Queen, and gives Amara enemy troop compositions and the time of the next attack as proof of her intentions. Later, the remaining High Lords and Ladies gather to assault the Queen with their combined strength, using Invidia's information.

However, the Queen expected Invidia's betrayal and prepared for it, and begins slaughtering the attackers.
