A Dance of Blades, (Shadowdance Trilogy, Book 2)
by David Dalglish
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 whose hatred of the thief guilds is unrivaled. 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.
