Marching south after the ghastly battle at the Tower of Charm, the Black Company is hounded by shadowy figures every inch of the way.
The game is on: the Company versus the Shadowmasters, deadly creatures that deal in darkness and sorrow.
When hope dies, there's still survival. And there's still the Black Company.

With the Black Company series Glen Cook singlehandedly changed the face of fantasysomething a lot of people didnt notice and maybe still dont. He brought the story down to a human level, dispensing with the clich? archetypes of princes, kings, and evil sorcerers. Reading his stuff was like reading Vietnam War fiction on peyote.
