Book excerpt: Having tracked a great evil across a barbaric land, a vast army lays siege to a once grand city, trapping an ancient creature within and dealing a heavy blow to the men sworn to defend its walls. Intent on making this city their final stand, the army slaughters even the beasts of the fields, leaving nothing alive that it may have touched. Overwhelmed, the city is forced to lay its hopes in the hands of a band of arrogant mercenaries. Unwilling to tolerate their abuses, however, people begin to rise up against them. The mercenaries, surrounded by an enemy whose atrocities they cannot comprehend and numbers that they cannot defeat, find that they have trapped themselves within a hostile city. Then one by one they begin to fall to an evil that they refuse to see. The foreign armyas final stand against evil is the cityas final stand for life.
