She Is the Darkness

by Glen Cook / Patrick Nielsen Hayden / Nicholas Jainschigg · The Chronicles of the Black Company series

Croaker confronts the woman he loves across a battlefield, as Lady and Longshadow's conflict drags the Company into a war where everyone's history demands a reckoning. The chronicle fractures into competing perspectives, each narrator shaped and scarred by decades of compromise.
