Adina followed him. The moment she stepped outside, cold night air hit her face.
She looked ahead. The army stretched farther than she could see.
Beasts moved in huge groups, their claws digging into the earth. Witches rode beside them, their hands glowing with dark magic. Warriors carried swords, spears, and shields.
