In Darujistan, the city of Blue Fire, it is said that love and death will come by dancing. Terrible omens are in the night streets, like demons of shadows. Guild killers hide in alleys, but they are only victims. Tyrants play by the rules dictated by the hidden lord. Bards sing about tragedies, but Dogs howls closer and closer. And in the distant city of Black Coral, where the Son of Darkness rules - Anomander Rake, evil awakens, eager for revenge. Looks like Death really is about to come dancing... A gripping novel of war, intrigue, dark and uncontrollable magic. A new chapter in Stephen Erickson's monumental saga. Second volume of "Tribute to the Dogs."
