A Dance of Darkness is a fantasy novel written by the author Pepijn Westdijk. It is the first book in the Songs of War series. Story started with Naka, an Ilunari killing many people and burning their corpses. When she went to the trading village, she heard from the traders about the death of Varne, the King of the Shadow Lands. Varne’s son Xere has been crowned as the new king.
Opposition of the Shadow Lands is the Shining Lands whose ruler is King Egil. King Egil thought that after the death of Varne, it would be easy to defeat the Shadow Lands but he forgot that Xere is there even before the war. After Varne’s death, Naka is being invited to the Dark Palace by King Xere. Naka was given a task long ago and it is time for Naka to complete that task. Some people are chasing her, will she be able to outrun them and save her life?
This is an intriguing story. I have to re-read few pages in the beginning to understand the base of the story but once I got the base, story went smooth then. If you are interested in reading stories about Kings, evil and the war then this would be a perfect pick. Cover photo of the book is nice and the language is lucid. I enjoyed each and every bit of this story. Glossary was too helpful to understand more about the world building and the characters. Recommended to fantasy readers.
