Book 1, Prologue, Pages 9 and 10

A dramatic spread of a king in silhouette with a bloodied sword in hand, standing on top of a mountain of carnage and surrounded by brush strokes that evoke fire and smoke and blood and death. The brush strokes fade into black towards the right page, which is foregrounded by a panel depicting this very same king managing a construction crew as they build a wall.

Author’s Voice:

And it was he, as well, who destroyed.

And he who rebuilt.
