You now enter a world not unlike our own. Creatures of myth and magic – vampires, werewolves, sorcerers and demons - combat one another in the shadows of this world.

Subtle manipulations erupt into cruel violence, all hidden from the eyes of those Unitiated to this struggle.

These forces battle for possession of the nine sacred Vyntari shards, whose use would doom our world.

Chaos. Evil. Darkness. Shadow.

Order. Manipulation. Orchestration. Dance.

This is the world of the Shadowdance.

Welcome to the Dance.

This site explores the history, stories and characters (referred to as dancers) within the Shadowdance.

The “Shall We Dance?” blog examines author Mark Wooden’s development of the Shadowdance world, studying the creative process and the influences that mold the Shadowdance.

“Read the Dance” presents selections from the Shadowdance library, a taste of this urban fantasy realm.

Explore other urban fantasy authors, learn useful writing tips and see what other works of the genre are out there via the “Web Links” page.
