had to be now.
Even with the Valg king before him,
something in Dorian’s chest eased. Healed
over.
So Dorian said to Erawan, his tears burning
away beneath the warmth of their magic. “I
brought down your keep.” He smiled
savagely. “And now we’ll bring you down as
well.”
Then he nodded to Yrene.
Erawan’s eyes flared like hot coals. And
Yrene unleashed their power once more.
Erawan could do nothing. Nothing against that
raw magic, joining with Yrene’s, weaving into
that world-making power.
The entire city, the plain, became
blindingly bright. So bright that Elide and
Lysandra shielded their eyes. Even Dorian
shut his.
