Narrated by: Elijah Alexander

From USA Today bestselling author David Dalglish.
One has conquered a city. The other covets an entire nation.

In book #3 of the Shadowdance series, Haern is the King's Watcher, protector against thieves and nobles who would fill the night with blood. Yet hundreds of miles away, an assassin known as the Wraith has begun slaughtering those in power, leaving the symbol of the Watcher in mockery. When Haern travels south to confront this copycat, he finds a city ruled by the corrupt, the greedy and the dangerous. Rioters fill the streets, and the threat of war hangs over everything. To forge peace, Haern must confront the deadly Wraith, a killer who would shape the kingdom's future with the blade of his sword.

Man or God; what happens when the lines are blurred?

Fantasy author David Dalglish spins a tale of retribution and darkness, and an underworld reaching for ultimate power in the third novel of the Shadowdance series, previously released as A Dance of Death.

Critic reviews

"[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

"Fast, furious. and fabulous."—Michael Sullivan, author of Theft of Swords 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

Amazing Book

Such an amazing continuation to The Watchers story! I'm not that big into reading, but this series caught me from the moment I read the description on the back of the first book. Love it!

Lose the accents!!

Would you consider the audio edition of A Dance of Mirrors to be better than the print version?

Don't Know

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Pace yes but many accents gave serious characters a cartoonish appeal

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Any additional comments?

The story was a strong fantasy storyline.

Only see written reviews for 1-2 stars

Any additional comments?

I normally do not write many reviews except for a few 5 stars however when I read the reviews for this book on audible they were all 1-2 star reviews even though the majority of the ratings were 4-5. I liked this book, was glad the trilogy did not end and gave it 4 stars. I have enjoyed this series so far and would recommend it to all my friends who also enjoy listening to sci-fi books.

good story but the voices for characters were bad

The story was good, balance some old characters with a influx of new but the narrator needs to broaden his array of voices because on this story he used terrible ones for characters that would in no way sound as such. An old man voice is not a proper voice a elf scout master (that shows no sign of aging).

Love the Series

I enjoyed everything this book and the 5 others has to offer. I highly recommend this series to anyone looking to listen to an awesome series
