Chapter 66 The Light That Breaks Armies

• The explosion of light didn’t burn. It didn’t destroy. It just hit, like a wave of warm water crashing through the temple, and every soldier it touched stopped moving.
• Not dead. Not injured. Just still.
• Their weapons dropped. Their hands fell to their sides. Their eyes stayed open, but the aggression drained out of them like water through cracked stone. They stood there, blinking, looking around like men who’d just woken from a long sleep and couldn’t remember where they were.
