A Dance of Burning Blades is the second novel in The Invoker Trilogy, an epic science fantasy series. Set in the Nine Lands, the story follows the aftermath of a greyblood attack in Lordsgrave and the open rebellion of Clan Adatali against the king. As war rages in the Feverlands, a tree feller resembling the missing invoker Jinao Mizito seeks vengeance for his brother, while Lyela maneuvers in the shadows. The narrative explores themes of community, identity, and the struggle against imperialist and colonialist systems, as characters fight to reclaim their stolen history and uncover long-kept secrets.
