Excerpt: Exiled - Part 2

Silverymoon looked out across the moon lit sand to the walled city off in the distance. She had been surprised that their arrival had not been challenged. They had spent the most of the last three days putting the city under siege, even though she knew that it would do little good. The necromancers that now controlled the city didn’t need to use the roads to get supplies into the walls. She however had to keep the human armies that had come to the elves’ call appeased and this was how they knew how to wage war; but this war would not be fought like any that had been since the dark times over five thousand years ago.
