It should have been a simple job. But for Garrett, a human detective in a world of gnomes, tracking down the woman to whom his dead pal Danny left a fortune in silver is no slight task.

After the Company''s defeat at Dejagore, Lady, one of the few survivors, sets out to avenge herself and the Company against the Shadowmasters, and she joins forces with an ancient and mysterious murder cult.

...embedded in the trunk of the scion of the godtree, it contains the essence of the maddest of the Ten Who Were Taken...The Dominator. Defeated by the Lady and cast from this world, all that was left of him was a foul trace of lingering evil. But the graveyard that was once the Barrowland contains more secrets than dead. All who would possess the power of the Dominator are drawn to the spike. A foolhardy band of thieves is the first to reach it, and a rapacious and malign spirit is unleashed on an unwary world. The forces gather, sides are drawn, and mortal men can only die as the Dark Lords battle for domination.

From Glen Cook, the godfather of Grimdark, comes the fourth book in the Chronicles of The Black Company—an epic military fantasy series, with millions of copies in print. After the devastating battle at the Tower of Charm, Croaker leads the greatly diminished Black Company south, in search of the lost Annals. The Annals will be returned to Khatovar, eight thousand miles away, a city that may exist only in legend...the origin of the first Free Companies. Every step of the way the Company is hounded by shadowy figured and carrion-eating crows. As they march every southward, through bug infested jungle, rivers dense with bloodthirsty pirates, and cities, dead and living, haunted by the passage of the Company north, their numbers grow until they are thousands strong. But always they are watched--by the Shadowmasters--a deadly new enemy: twisted creature that deal in darkness and death: powerful, shadowy creatures bent on smothering the world in their foul embrace. This is the first round in a deadly game, a game that the Black Company cannot ea hope to win. “With the Black Company series Glen Cook single-handedly changed the face of fantasy.”—New York Times bestselling author Steven Erikson Chronicles of The Black Company The Black Company (The First Chronicle) Shadows Linger (The Second Chronicle) The White Rose (The Third Chronicle) The Silver Spike Shadow Games (The First Book of the South) Dreams of Steel (The Second Book of the South) Bleak Seasons (Book One of Glittering Stone) She Is the Darkness (Book Two of Glittering Stone) Water Sleeps (Book Three of Glittering Stone) Soldiers Live (Book Four of Glittering Stone) Port of Shadows Lies Weeping (Book One of A Pitiless Rain) Omnibus editions: Chronicles of the Black Company (comprising The Black Company, Shadows Linger, and The White Rose) The Books of the South (comprising Shadow Games, Dreams of Steel, and The Silver Spike) Return of the Black Company (comprising Bleak Seasons and She Is the Darkness) The Many Deaths of the Black Company (comprising Water Sleeps and Soldiers Live) At the Publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

She was tall, blonde, and offering Garrett an irresistible fee to take a case that seemed open and shut. But in a town of elves and humans, thugs and swindlers—a place where magic and religion could prove an all-too potent mix—Garrett had learned to take a long, hard look before saying yes. Garrett’s doubts are confirmed when the Grand Inquisitor comes looking for his help in the lovely lady’s wake. But even a hard-boiled detective like Garrett, with a Dead Man for an ally and the toughest half-elf in town guarding his back, can find that it’s too late to say no. Turns out Garrett’s been fingered as the latest sacrifice to a long-dead god—and his only chance to save his neck is to solve the case.

Adrift in a world torn by sorcery gone wild, the Company is the last remnant of a once-great mercenary army. Led by Croaker, former physician and primary chronicler, they must search the world for the last ray of hope--the White Rose. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
