Description
From international bestseller Glen Cook comes the sixth book in the chronicles of the Black Company - the series that forever changed the face of fantasy.
After the disastrous defeat at Dejagore, The Lady wakes alone to a battlefield of corpses. As one of the few survivors, and with Croaker missing, it falls to her to scrape together a motley army of fugitives and outcasts strong enough to challenge the conspiring Shadowmasters.
But as an unlikely ally emerges from the shadows with even murkier motives, The Lady must decide if she can afford to lose their aid - or discover what she might risk by taking it.
