The three of them stood in the center of the crumbling warehouse facing the large double-doors, with Mitchell out front between the two girls – Allora on his right and Lethelin on his left. Her bow was in hand and Allora’s sword was out, as wa...

The warehouse at the top of the stairs looked like it was being held up more by thoughts and prayers than structural integrity. Beams sagged, holes dotted the roof, rotted planks covered the floor, and the smell of urine was everywhere.

Mitchell stared at the sprawling medieval metropolis before him. He imagined it was what London or Paris must have looked like in the Middle Ages. Or maybe even Rome since Mitchell knew that, at its peak, there were roughly a million people in the...
