di Glen Cook (Autore)

Tor Fantasy, 2000

From Glen Cook, the godfather of Grimdark, comes the first book in the Glittering Stone arc of the Chronicles of The Black Company—an epic military fantasy series, with millions of copies in print. "Let me tell you who I am, on the chance that these scribblings do survive....I am Murgen, Standard bearer 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..." So writes Murgen, seasoned veteran of the Black Company. The Company has taken the fortress of Stormgard from the evil Shadowlanders, lords of darkness from the far reaches of the earth. Now the waiting begins. Exhausted from the siege, beset by sorcery, and vastly outnumbered, the Company have risked their souls as well as their lives to hold their prize. But this is the end of an age, and great forces are at work. The ancient race known as the Nyueng Bao swear that ancient gods are stirring. the Company's commander has gone mad and flirts with the forces of darkness. Only Murgen, touched by a spell that has set his soul adrift in time, begins at last to comprehend the dark design that has made pawns of men and god alike. “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.
