The Black Company

by Glen Cook


This is a dark fantasy novel similar to Joe Abercrombie, but it was published in 1984. A decent book and I'll probably read some of the next ones.

Publisher Description

Some feel the Lady, newly risen from centuries in thrall, stands between humankind and evil. Some feel she is evil itself. The hard-bitten men of the Black Company take their pay and do what they must, burying their doubts with their dead. Until the prophesy: The White Rose has been reborn, somewhere, to embody good once more. There must be a way for the Black Company to find her... So begins one of the greatest fantasy epics of our age—Glen Cook's Chronicles of the Black Company.
