"Just because most of life is lived in shades of grey, does not mean that black and
white do not exist."

St. Tarmus of Lorendon


CHAPTER ONE
THE CLEANSING OF ERRILYN
Josiah rode into the City of the Dead with Laelyn, a captain of ha'taren guard, on his
way to see King Aejys, his lover. He had known Laelyn for barely more than a
month, but liked the quiet mon. There was something very solid about her
considering manner. She did not rush into things when they were important, and yet
he had witnessed her rare displays of humor with relish. A few soldiers on foot and
mounted ha'taren passed them, giving quick nods to Laelyn and him as they went.

He had felt stronger for the last two days, and had pressed the healers to allow him
to leave their camp and enter the city. His injuries still dragged at him dangerously in
a recurrent fashion that had many worried, yet Josiah refused to give into it more
than he was forced to. He wanted to see the banyan forest that Dynarien тАУ divine
knight-errant and son of the Woodland God Willodarus тАУ and the mages had raised
to destroy the undead army that had risen from the sewers to battle the invaders.

The ruins of the city were lost in a forest that had been raised in mere moments.
