For the children of this world are more prudent in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. The War Rule, discovered in Cave I of Qumrān in 1947, is a manual for military organization and strategy, including detailed specifications for battle gear and signals. thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review. See, the children of this world, men and women whose ends and aims are bounded by the horizon of this world, who only live for this life, how much more painstaking and skilful are they in their working for the perishable things of this world than are the children of light in their noble toiling after the things of the life to come.

Certain details, such as the advanced age of the combatants and the leadership of the priests, point to the idealistic nature of the war described in the work and impart a fictional quality to the treatise.

The point of telling you all of this is to give you a glimpse of the time and effort Gourav has gone to craft this world – not only are there many peoples and cultures interwoven here, but there’s much magic, with many rules and uses, and a lot of awe and wonder and discovery.

tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings. The War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness, also known as War Rule, Rule of War and the War Scroll, is a manual for military organization and strategy that was discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls. At its depths, the plot is grim and fully embraces the staples of the grimdark genre, throughout there are depictions of gore and bloody, brutal battle scenes … nearing the end, there’s little hope to be had.
