After the Black Company has taken care of the Dominator in the north, the few survivors choose to go south to find out the real history of the Black Company and to find fabled Kathovar, the origin of the Black Company itself. On their travels south they find new friends and old and new enemies, but looming over everything is the fact that their name, the sole uttering of the Black Company, seems to strike fear into the hearts of those who hear it. It seems, the real history of the Black Company is darker than everyone could have imagined.

From Glen Cook, the godfather of Grimdark, comes The Many Deaths of The Black Company , an omnibus comprising of Water Sleeps and Soldiers Live ―the fourth omnibus volume of the bestselling fantasy epic Chronicles of the Black Company, with millions of copies in print. In Water Sleeps , the surviving members of the Company regroup in Taglios, determined to free their fellow warriors held in stasis beneath the glittering plain. Journeying there under terrible conditions, they arrive just in time for a magical conflagration in which the bones of the world will be revealed, the history of the Company unveiled, and new worlds gained and lost...all at a terrible price. And in Soldiers Live : No Black Company member has died in battle for four years. Croaker figures it can’t last. Then a report arrives warning of an old enemy newly active. The enemy attacks them at a Shadowgate― setting off a chain of events that will bring the Company to the edge of apocalypse and, as usual, several steps beyond. “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 )

Glen Cook, the father of Grimdark, returns to the Chronicles of the Black Company with a military fantasy adventure in Port of Shadows . The soldiers of the Black Company don’t ask questions, they get paid. But being “The Lady’s favored” is attracting the wrong kind of attention and has put a target on their backs--and the Company’s historian, Croaker, has the biggest target of all. The one person who was taken into The Lady’s Tower and returned unchanged has earned the special interest of the court of sorcerers known as The Ten Who Were Taken. Now, he and the company are being asked to seek the aid of their newest member, Mischievous Rain, to break a rebel army. However, Croaker doesn’t trust any of the Taken, especially not ones that look so much like The Lady and her sister… The Chronicles of the Black Company #1 The Chronicles of The Black Company #2 The Books of the South #3 The Return of The Black Company #4 The Many Deaths of the Black Company
