Description

A reissue of one of the greatest dark fantasy epics of our age, Glen Cook's The Black Company.

Some feel the Lady, newly risen from centuries in thrall, stands between humankind and evil. Some feel she is evil itself. The hard-bitten men of the Black Company take their pay and do what they must, burying their doubts with their dead.

Until the prophesy: The White Rose has been reborn, somewhere, to embody good once more. There must be a way for the Black Company to find her...

“With the Black Company series Glen Cook single-handedly changed the face of fantasy.” ?Steven Erikson, author of the Malazan Book of the Fallen series
