Shadowdance

Dark Fantasy of Witchcraft and Curses

From the renowned author of the Saga of Frost trilogy, this dark fantasy explores witchcraft and curses.

The Protagonist

Paralyzed since birth, a young man named Innowen encounters a sorceress along the road. She grants him the ability to walk, but with two conditions—he can only walk between dusk and dawn and must perform a dance in the witch's honor each night.

The Sinister Price

What at first seems harmless comes with a sinister price. Anyone who witnesses Innowen's dance is soon compelled to act out their darkest, most horrific desires.

The Quest

Eased of his physical affliction only to be burdened with a moral one, Innowen sets out on a quest to find his nameless benefactor to lift the curse. Instead, he uncovers long-protected secrets that threaten to bring down the entire kingdom.

The Themes

Filled with twists and turns, this grim fantasy from Robin Wayne Bailey reminds readers that the most powerful magic hides in the dark of night.
