Taking us to the other side of the subcontinent, Dance of Shadows introduces four characters, including a librarian princess, a Naga (half-snake, half-human), a happy-go-lucky knight and a priestess-dancer who’s wed to a God.

Bitter enemies become friends, old allies stab each other in the back, favourite figures from Sons of Darkness return to the fold, and the shadows gather to dance in humanity’s setting sun.
