Peace or destruction; every war must have its end.

It's been five years since Haern faked his death to escape the tyranny of his father. He has become the Watcher, a vicious killer who knows no limits, and whose hatred of the thief guilds is unrivalled. But when the son of Alyssa Gemcroft, one of the three leaders of the powerful Trifect, is believed murdered, the slaughter begins anew. Mercenaries flood the streets, with one goal in mind: find and kill the Watcher.

A Dance of Blades is a thrilling continuation in David Dalglish's epic saga, where choices between peace and destruction pull at the heart of a city on the brink of war.
