The Dance of Light and Dark, that we perceive as the world, threatens to end with the final fall of Light. Mercenary armies spread anarchy far and wide. Wandering swarms of peasants driven mad by fear and starvation rip open the bodies of their victims in search of anything to fill the emptiness that plagues them. Should Darkness triumph, the world will wink out of existence, plunging all human souls into an eternity of nightmare.
In the hard-pressed Kingdom of Izarré, Prince Amaury Valrayne, a warrior tormented by wounds and too many memories, struggles to resist descent into the Shadowlands that will leave him the living pawn of Darkness. Lirienne Valrayne, youngest of the three heirs, secretly performs long lost and forbidden dances that endow her with the qualities of animal lives experienced during previous turns upon the Wheel of Life and Death. She will need both sword and sorcery to stave off the fall of Light. But time grows short as Lirienne's beautiful, treacherous sister Marphisa schemes to send her to the stake. For Marphisa conspires with dark forces to become Queen of the Hell that will alone remain. Into these intrigues comes a fugitive fleeing the ghosts of his lone feud against the clan that killed his family. A man so long hunted he has touched the very currents of Light and Dark - and madness. The first book of a five volume epic fantasy series, Dance of Sword and Heron sweeps you through mystical realms full of battle and intrigue, magic and passion, love and betrayal. Experience this gripping saga where not just all human lives, but all human souls hang in the balance.
