Mr.Dalgish, I love the Shadowdance series. So far it is the only one I read in full, however, I own the first of the Half-Orc series and plan to read that. I am reading the Shadowdance series over because I enjoyed it so much. My question is and it might have been said in the book but I somehow missed it twice. How old was Alyssa Gemcroft in the beginning of Dance of Cloaks?
