Luis asked David Dalglish:

Why were the Shadowdance books re-released from a trilogy to broken up into six books recently? Thanks, Luis

David Dalglish Well, they aren't broken up. The original three of Shadowdance (Cloaks, Blades, and Death) were re-released in entirety, if not with multiple additional chapters (and Death renamed to Mirrors). What happened was that Shadowdance and a different Trilogy I'd started, The Watcher's Blade, were merged together. So what used to be Blood of the Underworld became A Dance of Shadows. What was going to be Blood of the Father is now A Dance of Ghosts.

I wrote up a FAQ here: http://ddalglish.com/wp/2013/11/26/fa... that should answer in a bit more detail, plus on that FAQ are links to a much more detailed discussion on what I changed for each of the four books prior to republication.
