Description

One of the greatest fantasy epics of our age continues in Water Sleeps, the ninth installment of Glen Cook's Chronicles of the Black Company.

Enter the realm of danger, magic, compelling anti-heroes, and overwhelming conflict. Renowned for its epic scope and thrilling exploits, housed within the realm of dark and medieval fantasy, every turn of the page plunges you into a world that's as mesmerizing as it is intense.

Centered around the fearless members of the Black Company, our protagonists embark on a journey across the perilous terrain of Taglios. Their sole mission? To liberate their comrades trapped beneath a mythical plain. The story unfurls under the shroud of dread and anticipation, teetering on the brink of an earth-shattering revelation that may very well decide the fate of this fantastical world.

From the whispers of long-forgotten warfare to echoes of the most cryptic mysteries, Water Sleeps is a testament to Glen Cook's artistry in marrying gritty military fantasy with nuanced themes of heroism, villainy, and the eternal struggle between good and evil.

Unlock the secrets of the Black Company’s past, witness their struggles, and join their journey towards a reality that's equal parts promising and grim.
