Battle Lord Yulen D’Jacques orders torches lit to deter the approaching creatures while soldiers take positions on walls, catwalks, and towers. At the same time, Cole Mastin faces tense family conflict: he insists his very pregnant wife must descend to protect their unborn child.

Atty , we got incoming!”  \n“I know!” she shouted back. From her perch in one of the sentry towers, Cole Mastin knew the battle lady had the perfect vantage point.  \nPeering over the thirty-foot barricade, the second gripped his sword in anticipation. A few meters away, Yulen D’Jacques , the Battle Lord of Alta Novis , also took a stance as the wave of rats emerged from the tree line and headed straight for the compound. From this distance they looked like an undulating blanket of dark fur.

He didn’t disguise the irritation he felt at her being up on the parapet with him.  \nHe knew why she was there. He simply didn’t approve of it, with her already past her delivery date.  \n“We don’t know. It could be anything.
