Glen Cook
For centuries, the Black Company has sold its swords to the highest bidder. Jaded and bound by ancient tradition, they are mercenaries with no homeland, no ideals, and no illusions left. They fight where they’re told, bleed when they must, and bury whoever doesn’t make it to dawn.
But even Croaker, the Company’s physician and keeper of its annals, isn’t prepared for their newest employer: the Lady, an immortal sorceress risen from centuries of imprisonment.
The Company doesn’t usually trouble itself with prophecies, shining heroes, or tidy notions of ‘good’ and ‘evil’. But when rumours spread of a figure called the White Rose, destined to lead the resistance against the Lady’s reign, uncomfortable questions begin to surface...©1984 Glen Cook (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic reviews
'With the Black Company series Glen Cook single-handedly changed the face of fantasy... He brought the story down to a human level, dispensing with the cliché archetypes of princes, kings, and evil sorcerers.' (Steven Erikson, author of Malazan Book of the Fallen)
'Over the past 25 years, Cook has carved out a place for himself among the preeminent fantasy writers of his generation… His work is real, complex, and honest.' (Jeff VanderMeer, author of Annihilation)
'Glen writes a mean book.' (Jim Butcher, author of The Dresden Files)
'An all-time classic... a book that has left its mark [on] the entire genre.'
