Shadowgod (2014)
“—Ralgar Morth, The Empire Of Night, canto xxiii There was only silence on the crowded balcony as everyone stared down at the breached wall with its flanking slopes of broken stonework. The dust was settling with the snow, churned in dark mud on the outside by the thousands of enemy troops gathering there, waiting for the order to move into the city. Bardow could see scarcely any defenders attacking from the wall on either side of the gap but he knew from the Nightrook that Yasgur had pulled mos...t of his men off the western and northern walls and was rushing troops to the south ramparts.
