Blood and Rain
But the emptiness was an illusion.

Their dark armor was camouflaged with mountain netting, their breathing slow and synchronized. Across the narrow chasm, perched invisibly along the sheer drop of the Grey Needle, Valarian and his shadow-stalkers had their heavy black bows already drawn, arrows notched and ready to rain iron from the heavens.
Down at the mouth of the valley, looking exactly like the fractured, undermanned line Aelion had promised the Elders, stood Riheirk and a small, seemingly desperate vanguard.
