Description
A Dance of Blades by David Dalglish is a dark fantasy novel filled with assassins, guild rivalries, and deadly struggles for power.
Set in a city scarred by years of conflict, the story follows Haern, a feared vigilante known as the Watcher, who continues his relentless war against the city’s criminal guilds. While open warfare between the thief guilds and the ruling alliance known as the Trifect has largely faded, tensions reignite when the son of one of the Trifect’s leaders is believed to have been murdered. As mercenaries and killers flood the streets in search of the Watcher, Haern finds himself at the centre of a growing conflict that threatens to plunge the city back into chaos. Amid shifting alliances, revenge, and political intrigue, both the underworld and the city’s rulers fight for survival and control.
A Dance of Blades is suited to readers who enjoy dark fantasy, action-driven adventures, and stories featuring assassins, political conflict, and morally complex characters.
