A Dance of Chaos

By: David Dalglish

Narrated by: Elijah Alexander

From USA Today bestselling author David Dalglish Fear comes from the hands of prophets. . .

The final installment of the Shadowdance series finds Haern the Watcher returning to his beloved city of Veldaren, only to find it has collapsed into chaos. The Sun Guild has conquered the former thief guilds, destroying the peace Haern fought so hard to obtain. The Trifect is their next target, and Alyssa Gemcroft must reach out to whatever allies she can obtain, even if it means casting aside longtime friends. As the chaos grows, so does the power of the dark god Karak who lays siege to Veldaren. If the city falls, the world will suffer greatly.


The legendary Thren Felhorn, broken, guileless, and rejected by his own son, holds the fate of the entire city in his hands. Unless Haern can stop his father, Thren will at last have the legacy of fire and destruction he has always desired.

Father or son; some choices must be made in blood.

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

Critic reviews

"Fast, furious, and fabulous."—Michael J. Sullivan, author of Theft of Swords on A Dance of Cloaks

"[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 on A Dance of Cloaks

"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 on A Dance of Cloaks

Great story overall

I overall liked the story which back when the author wrote it and again recently as I listened to audible, the story was great to the end, but I would like to know if there was a sequel to the story that was for the child of Zusa and the Watcher or was it that child learned to grow up not in that type of lifestyle? Also one other I didn’t care for even though the reader tried his best was that many of his voices where similar for different characters as well as so so different couldn’t tell from many accents to which origin or background was to which they all come from, but again truly loved this writing and the story line presented!!

Amazing ending to a great trilogy

Absolutely incredible. I now have one of my favorite quotes. "There will be time for weakness later." Long live The Watcher!
