What to expect
The war against the Dominator is over and the empire stands on the brink of an uneasy peace. But victory has come at a staggering price.
The Lady is stripped of her power, and the Black Company is a shadow of itself — a ragged handful of survivors. With no other path open, Croaker, the Company’s new captain, turns to the Annals and half-forgotten legend in search of answers. Their destination: Khatovar — the fabled birthplace of the Black Company.
Uncovering their history may yet decide their future — if they can survive the journey there.
