Book 2 of the Empires Trilogy
By Troy Denning
Ebook version 1.0
 The gray-haired noble reached the top of the tower a few seconds later. The other lords barely noticed
as he entered the room. They were too busy over-whelming Cheng Han with contradictory advice. Hsuang
slipped to the window, peered out, then swore a vile curse in the name of the Celestial Dragon.
The Tuigan had resorted to magic. A single barbarian stood in front of the two thousand horsemen
gathered on top of the smoky knoll. The man was dressed in a long silk robe covered with mystic symbols.
In his hand, he held a scepter capped with a human skull. The barbarian's arms were lifted skyward and his
eyes were fixed on one of the fires.
The shaman had magically braided the smoke from all fifty cooking fires together. The smoke columns
now formed a wide gray ribbon that stretched from the hilltop all the way to Shou Kuan. The smoky bridge
crossed the city wall directly over the gate, just a few yards to the right of the bell tower.
As Hsuang watched, the first horsewarriors spurred their mounts toward the hazy bridge. The
frightened animals reared and tried to shy away. The determined riders kicked the beasts and lashed them
with their reins, guiding the horses onto the gray ribbon as if it were solid rock. When their hooves found
solid purchase on the smoke, the horses calmed and began galloping forward. The riders dropped their
reins, then pulled their bows from their holsters and began to nock arrows.
Hsuang turned to his fellow nobles. "Get to your armies!" he yelled. "The Tuigan are topping the wall!"
