Emily asked David Dalglish:

I've been a long time fan of your Shadow Dance Series and just came to find Blood of the underworld. Is this a squeal to the previous series? I saw this was published first which confuses me but I'm excited at the prospect.

David Dalglish Blood of the Underworld was the start of a planned new trilogy prior to Orbit buying the rights to the Shadowdance Series (which at the time was only three books). So Blood of the Underworld was renamed A Dance of Shadows, and made book four of Shadowdance. Does that make sense?

I also wrote a FAQ about the whole Orbit purchase way back when, which might also help explain. You can read it here: http://ddalglish.com/wp/2013/11/26/fa...
