The Return of the Black Company by Glen Cook

The Return of the Black Company by Glen Cook

From Glen Cook, the godfather of Grimdark, comes The Return of the Black Company, an omnibus comprising of Bleak Seasons and She is the Darkness--the third omnibus volume of the bestselling fantasy epic Chronicles of the Black Company, with millions of copies in print.

"Let me tell you who I am, on the chance that these scribblings do survive. . .

"I am Murgen, Standardbearer of the Black Company, though I bear the shame of having lost that standard in battle. I am keeping these Annals because Croaker is dead, One-Eye won't, and hardly anyone else can read or write. I will be your guide for however long it takes the Shadowlanders to force our present predicament to its inevitable end. . ."

"With the Black Company series Glen Cook single-handedly changed the face of fantasy."--New York Times bestselling author Steven Erikson
