This scene is from the Battle of Aerunden, which takes place toward the end of the novel. I'm very proud of the battle sequence, described in Publishers Weekly as 'vigorously told'. This particular excerpt focuses on a minor character, Sir Drostan, a mage warrior and loyal knight of the King. So you won't see much of Eolyn or Akmael in this scene, but I think you will enjoy it nonetheless.
