About this ebook
From Glen Cook, the godfather of Grimdark himself, comes this novel-like Black Company collection with two brand-new stories! A long-awaited addition to the classic epic fantasy series following a group of hard-bitten mercenaries, that has enlisted millions of readers and inspired generations of writers.
On the run with the prophesized reincarnation of the White Rose, the Black Company's misadventures along the way are recorded by the company annalist, Croaker, as they play cat-and-mouse with the powerful sorceress known simply as The Lady.
Published together for the first time, this volume collects all nine stories set in the years between the conclusion of events in Shadows Linger and the beginning of The White Rose. Seven have appeared in various anthologies and magazines over the last decade-and-a-half, while the novelettes “Sorrows” and “Queen’s Bridge,” are original to this collection.
“One of the original entries into grimdark, Glen Cook presents a dark world of malignant gods playing games of chess with human pawns ... and makes us scramble, struggle, and banter alongside the entire platoon.” ―Grimdark Magazine
