Publisher's Summary

From USA Today best-selling author David Dalglish

The Underworld rules the city of Veldaren. Thieves, smugglers, assassins...they fear only one man. In book number one of the Shadowdance series, Thren Felhorn is the greatest assassin of his time. All the thieves' guilds of the city are under his unflinching control. If he has his way, death will soon spill out from the shadows and into the streets.

Aaron is Thren's son, trained to be heir to his father's criminal empire. He's cold, ruthless - everything an assassin should be. But when Aaron risks his life to protect a priest's daughter from his own guild, he glimpses a world beyond piston, daggers, and the iron rule of his father. Assassin or protector; every choice has its consequences.

Fantasy author David Dalglish spins a tale of retribution and darkness, and an underworld reaching for ultimate power.

What the critics say

"[A] winning combination of A Game of Thrones, sword-and-sorcery RPGs, and vivid description...Dalglish puts familiar pieces together with a freshness and pleasure that are contagious." (Publishers Weekly)

"Fast, furious, and fabulous." (Michael J. Sullivan, author of Theft of Swords)

"Strong characterization as well as detailed action...a believable tale of a young man's coming-of-age and the difficult decisions he must make. His saga should appeal to fans of R.A. Salvatore and Richard Lee Byers." (Library Journal)

Poor narration

I can appreciate his normal voice, but his character voices are irritating to say the least. I would have enjoyed the book more if I had read it instead of listening to it, i'm sure.
