FaithFire isn't a miracle anymore. It's a network.
Alex Bachmann and the Silver Eagles have learned how to steal seconds from the Empire, employing fieldcraft that turns hymns into warnings.
But every minute they take teaches the machine to adapt. When the Empire begins marking minds as well as maps, Bachmann is forced into a stand he never wanted.
Hold the corridor, buy the escape, and let the world bear witness to what the Empire truly is.
Some battles are fought for victory. Thermopylae is fought so that others may live.
