Every movement tells a story. Some dances can change the world.

Prima ballerina Terpsichore "Cora" Levesque has always possessed an otherworldly grace that captivates audiences worldwide. Her performances transcend mere artistry—they evoke primal emotions and create inexplicable phenomena: audiences weeping in perfect unison, temporary mass euphoria, even subtle shifts in gravitational pull during her most powerful sequences.

But when her highly anticipated world tour is plagued by increasingly dangerous "accidents"—stage lights crashing down, mysterious fires, and fellow dancers falling mysteriously ill—Cora realizes someone is systematically targeting her productions. The sabotage escalates when her understudy is found in a trance-like state, endlessly performing an ancient dance pattern never taught in any modern school.

As Cora investigates, she discovers a disturbing pattern: elite dancers around the world are disappearing, only to reappear months later with blank expressions and altered techniques—their movements subtly incorporating archaic gestures from long-forgotten ritual dances. Behind it all: The Chorographic Circle, a secretive faction of The Order of the Titans that believes certain sacred movement sequences can open pathways between worlds.

When Cora experiences vivid visions while dancing—glimpses of an ancient time when movement itself could reshape reality—she begins to understand her true nature as Terpsichore, the Muse of Dance. Her awakening powers allow her to perceive the invisible patterns connecting all movement, and to recognize the dangerous ritual The Order is orchestrating: a worldwide performance designed to channel enough kinetic energy to resurrect the old gods.

Pursued by former colleagues now under The Order's control and a charismatic dance impresario with centuries-old knowledge, Cora forms unlikely alliances with a biomechanics expert studying the supernatural aspects of human movement and a street dancer whose improvisational style carries echoes of divine power. Together, they race to prevent the final performance that would complete The Order's grand design.

But to defeat an enemy who has infiltrated dance companies across the globe, Cora must master her divine abilities and choreograph the most important performance of her life—one that could either permanently seal the boundary between mortal and divine realms or tear it open forever.

Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo's Ninth House, Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Mexican Gothic, and readers who love supernatural thrillers where art becomes magic. This sixth installment in the Daughters of Zeus Series explores the power of movement while expanding the divine sisterhood forming across the world.

THE DANCE OF SHADOWS continues the thrilling saga where classical arts reveal their ancient power, and where the awakened Muses must unite to prevent catastrophe as The Order of the Titans grows increasingly desperate in their quest to reshape humanity.

ABOUT THE SERIES

The Daughters of Zeus Series by Avarin Voss is an, myth-infused thriller saga that reimagines the Greek Muses as nine modern women uncovering their divine origins while facing off against a powerful secret society—The Order of the Titans. Each book follows a different sister—investigative journalists, novelists, dancers, scientists, and mystics—each pulled into a deadly mystery tied to a global conspiracy to resurrect the ancient gods. As secrets unravel, prophecies ignite, and divine powers stir, the Muses must race against time to uncover the truth and decide whether to embrace or defy their destinies.

From New York’s elite art scene to hidden temples, ancient ruins, and underground cults, this cinematic series blends thriller, sci-fi, and mythology in a high-stakes battle between fate, power, and sisterhood. Perfect for fans of mythology thrillers, urban fantasy, and complex heroines with supernatural gifts.

Tropes You'll Love

Core Urban Fantasy / Myth Thriller Tropes

Secret mythology in the modern world – Greek gods, Muses, Titans… but hidden beneath Manhattan galleries, London archives, and private foundations.
Ancient order vs modern descendants – The Order of the Titans trying to bring back the old power, while the Muses are the unexpected counter-force.
Prophecy-driven plot – visions, encrypted prophecies, lost hymns, oracles that don’t tell the whole truth.
Reluctant heroine awakening to power – each book = one woman realising she’s more than human.
Found identity / hidden lineage – “I thought I was a journalist/dancer/scientist… actually I’m a living channel for divine inspiration.”
Race-against-time conspiracy – cult rituals, stolen artefacts, astronomical alignments.
Magic-meets-tech – occult knowledge intersecting with AI, surveillance, biotech, encrypted texts.

Character & Sisterhood Tropes

Sisterhood but scattered – the nine Muses have to find each other across the world.
Each book = a different heroine – fans love a shared universe with rotating leads.
Female-led power fantasy – women as investigators, spies, scholars, performers… and divine.
Protect-the-gift trope – someone is always trying to capture, exploit, or silence the gifted heroine.
Mortal vs divine calling – career vs destiny, art vs war, anonymity vs purpose.
“I don’t want this power” → “I was made for this” arc.

Mystery / Thriller Tropes

Ancient ruins, secret chambers, hidden libraries – every myth thriller reader loves a door that only opens for the chosen.
Enemy in the organisation – a double agent inside the Order or inside the Muses’ network.

“I was sent to watch you… but now I’m on your side.”
Forbidden divine–mortal connection – love that complicates the prophecy.

Mythology Lover Catnip

Reclaimed Muses – not passive inspirations, but weaponised creativity.
Mythological artefacts with modern stakes – lyres, scrolls, helms, and temple blueprints that actually matter.
Titans as the real villains – not just gods behaving badly, but old power trying to break back in.
Cycles of history repeating – what happened on Olympus is happening in boardrooms.

Series-Level Tropes

Slow-burn unveiling of the big bad – each book reveals another piece of The Order of the Titans.
Interconnected standalones – you can read one, but it’s better in order.
