Book Six of the Daughters of Zeus Series

Every movement tells a story. Some dances can change the world.

Prima ballerina Terpsichore "Cora" Levesque has always possessed an otherworldly grace that captivates audiences worldwide. Her performances transcend mere artistry—they evoke primal emotions and create inexplicable phenomena: audiences weeping in perfect unison, temporary mass euphoria, even subtle shifts in gravitational pull during her most powerful sequences.

But when her highly anticipated world tour is plagued by increasingly dangerous "accidents"—stage lights crashing down, mysterious fires, and fellow dancers falling mysteriously ill—Cora realizes someone is systematically targeting her productions. The sabotage escalates when her understudy is found in a trance-like state, endlessly performing an ancient dance pattern never taught in any modern school.

As Cora investigates, she discovers a disturbing pattern: elite dancers around the world are disappearing, only to reappear months later with blank expressions and altered techniques—their movements subtly incorporating archaic gestures from long-forgotten ritual dances. Behind it all: The Chorographic Circle, a secretive faction of The Order of the Titans that believes certain sacred movement sequences can open pathways between worlds.

When Cora experiences vivid visions while dancing—glimpses of an ancient time when movement itself could reshape reality—she begins to understand her true nature as Terpsichore, the Muse of Dance. Her awakening powers allow her to perceive the invisible patterns connecting all movement, and to recognize the dangerous ritual The Order is orchestrating: a worldwide performance designed to channel enough kinetic energy to resurrect the old gods.

Pursued by former colleagues now under The Order's control and a charismatic dance impresario with centuries-old knowledge, Cora forms unlikely alliances with a biomechanics expert studying the supernatural aspects of human movement and a street dancer whose improvisational style carries echoes of divine power. Together, they race to prevent the final performance that would complete The Order's grand design.

But to defeat an enemy who has infiltrated dance companies across the globe, Cora must master her divine abilities and choreograph the most important performance of her life—one that could either permanently seal the boundary between mortal and divine realms or tear it open forever.

Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo's Ninth House, Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Mexican Gothic, and readers who love supernatural thrillers where art becomes magic. This sixth installment in the Daughters of Zeus Series explores the power of movement while expanding the divine sisterhood forming across the world.

THE DANCE OF SHADOWS continues the thrilling saga where classical arts reveal their ancient power, and where the awakened Muses must unite to prevent catastrophe as The Order of the Titans grows increasingly desperate in their quest to reshape humanity.
