Revue de presse :

Buy the book and budget for the rest; you'll want to see this story through to the end (SFX)

Dalglish is well on his way to join the ranks of Peter V. Brett and Brent Weeks as influential authors in a new generation of fantasy (FANTASY FACTION)

Fast, furious and fabulous (Michael J. Sullivan, author of THEFT OF SWORDS)

A winning combination of A Game of Thrones, sword-and-sorcery RPGs, and vivid description . . . The point of view shifts continually, encompassing bit players and major characters from every angle of the struggle, and Dalglish handles his cast of thousands with aplomb . . . this is a fun read. Dalglish puts familiar pieces together with a freshness and pleasure that are contagious (PUBLISHERS WEEKLY)

Dalglish concocts a heady cocktail of energy, breakneck pace and excitement that a reader could get drunk on (Sam Sykes, author of TOME OF THE UNDERGATES)

A gritty book with intriguing characters and has a plot which will keep you hooked till the end (FANTASY BOOK CRITIC)

An excellently paced, character driven fantasy novel (BOOKBAG)

The prose is solid, the pace wonderful and when the action happens its quick, fast and to the point . . . Back that up with a cracking supporting cast alongside an inventive world and all round I was a very happy reader. Great stuff (Falcata Times)

Fans of A Game of Thrones should most definitely take note of this extremely exciting first book in the Shadow Dance series. Bring on book 2! (FICTION FASCINATION)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Fantasy author David Dalglish spins a tale of retribution and darkness, and an underworld reaching for ultimate power... ------ Book Description: Thren Felhorn is the greatest assassin of his time. Marshalling the thieves' guilds under his control, he declares war against the Trifect, an allegiance of wealthy and powerful nobles. Aaron Felhorn has been groomed since birth to be Thren's heir. Sent to kill the daughter of a priest, Aaron instead risks his own life to protect her from the wrath of his guild. In doing so, he glimpses a world beyond poison, daggers, and the iron control of his father. Guilds twist and turn, trading allegiances for survival. The Trifect weakens, its reputation broken, its money dwindling. The players take sides as the war nears its end, and Thren puts in motion a plan to execute hundreds. Only Aaron can stop the massacre and protect those he loves... A DANCE OF CLOAKS by David Dalglish Assassin or protector; every choice has its consequences. ------ About the Author: David Dalglish currently lives in rural Missouri with his wife Samantha, daughter Morgan, and dog Asimov.
