Publisher's summary

From USA Today best-selling author David Dalglish.

"Prove that you can stand against the darkness and live".

In book number four of the Shadowdance series, Haern is the King's Watcher, born an assassin only to become the city of Veldaren's protector against the thief guilds.

When Lord Victor Kane attacks the city, determined to stamp out all corruption, foreign gangs pour in amidst the chaos in an attempt to overthrow the current lords of the underworld.

And when a mysterious killer known as the Widow begins mutilating thieves, paranoia engulfs the city. Haern knows someone is behind the turmoil, pulling strings. If he doesn't find out who - and soon - his beloved city will burn.

Light or darkness: Where will the line be drawn?

Fantasy author David Dalglish spins a tale of retribution and darkness, and an underworld reaching for ultimate power in this fourth novel of the Shadowdance series, previously released as Blood of the Underworld.

Mostly Entertaining

Overall this was a good book that kept my interest. The issues I have are all surrounding his defeat at the hands of Grayson. He gets kicked in the head and can't fight (after all he's dealt with in previous books) and then has magic items that save him we are never aware of. I could be ok with this, but he's still majorly injured when he has to fight a brand new enemy and part of another mercenary team. They win and he's basically fine the rest of the book. Wasn't he on death's door? Still overall, I enjoyed the book.

horrid accents

A very good series, but the narrator's exaggerated accents are unrealistic, comical, and very distracting.
