Description
Bloomsbury presents The Black Company by Glen Cook, read by Toby Longworth.
Take the coin. Do the job. Live long enough to see the consequences.
For centuries, the Black Company has sold its swords to the highest bidder. Jaded and bound by ancient tradition, they are mercenaries with no homeland, no ideals, and no illusions left. They fight where they're told, bleed when they must, and bury whoever doesn't make it to dawn.
But even Croaker, the Company's physician and keeper of its annals, isn't prepared for their newest employer: the Lady, an immortal sorceress risen from centuries of imprisonment.
The Company doesn't usually trouble itself with prophecies, shining heroes, or tidy notions of 'good' and 'evil'. But when rumours spread of a figure called the White Rose, destined to lead the resistance against the Lady's reign, uncomfortable questions begin to surface...
