My Dance Becomes Swordplay, Book 4
The Unbound March
The empire can take his rank. It cannot make his allies kneel.
Aaron Vale has seen what waits behind the empire’s golden doors. Now its power reaches for everyone willing to stand with him.
Armies are only part of the threat. Water, supplies, and the ancient systems that keep towns alive can all become weapons in the wrong hands. Winning another duel will not be enough to protect the people depending on him.
Aaron and Liora must build something the court cannot simply command: a coalition of communities with their own grievances, loyalties, and reasons to refuse. Human, elf, orc, dwarf—and a dragon who answers to no crown—will not be united by a single hero’s strength.
As his swordsmanship reaches beyond the limits of solitary combat, Aaron faces the cost of sharing power. The next great battle begins with a question every ally must answer freely: what are they willing to build together?
Book Four of My Dance Becomes Swordplay combines coalition building, dragon alliances, evolving battle magic, and a deepening romance as resistance becomes a struggle for an empire’s future.
