Dance of Shadows

The long-awaited continuation of the epic fantasy "Sons of Darkness", which brings together the best of "Mahabharata", "Game of Thrones", "The First Law", and "Malazan Book of the Fallen"!

When the Sun sets over the age of virtue, the shadows gather... for their last dance.
The Republic of Mathura and the Empire of Magadh are engaged in a deadly struggle, but they are far from the only pieces on the chessboard. Thunderous clouds are gathering on the eastern horizon.
The tree cities of the rakshasas have opened their borders for the first time in centuries to gather at the Conclave of kings and priestesses, matriarchs and merchant lords. But they seek peace only to reshape the future in their own image, disregarding both the Republic and the Empire.
After all, it is in times of peace that it is easiest to sow the seeds of war once again.
And in this world, soaked in oil, only three women can become the spark that ignites the fire.
