The Dance of the Gods by Nora Roberts is the second book in The Circle Trilogy that deals with the threat of a vampire war, led by Lilith, the self-proclaimed queen of the vampires, against all humanity. The book's main characters are a part of what is known as the Circle of Six, the six individuals who have been called together by the goddess Morrigan to learn how to battle the vampire threat that will destroy all the worlds. The Circle of Six is composed of a sorcerer named Hoyt from the 12th century, a modern day witch, Glenna, who are handfasted just before the story begins. The next character is Cian, who has been alive as a vampire since the 12th century, having been sired by Lilith. Cian is Hoyt's twin brother and has been called to join in the battle against his fellow vampires. From the land of Geall come the shapeshifter, Larkin, and Moira, the small, beautiful and studious scholar, who is to one day become Queen of Geall. The last member of the group is Blair, a descendant of Cian and Hoyt's youngest sister; Blair is a demon hunter from modern-day Chicago.
