""Prove that you can stand against the darkness and live." 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 Watcher's Blade"-- No library descriptions found. |

I did like that we learned more about Zusa's past and saw the relationship she has with Alyssa evolve. While we have come to recognize these characters, Dalglish is still providing ample amount of character development and Nathaniel is beginning to take a bit of the spot light. I would like to hear more about him in future novels.
I do have to say that the end really brought everything together and made me anticipate the next book as new alliances formed out of not necessarily desperation, but close to it. Hopefully the next will be better and more inline with the previous books. ( )
