Description
From Glen Cook, the godfather of Grimdark, comes Lies Weeping, the first book in an all-new arc in the legendary Chronicles of the Black Company - the landmark series that changed the face of fantasy.
Scattered from their disastrous campaign across worlds, the Black Company left too many of their number buried in the ground before finally retreating across the plain of glittering stone.
On the other side of the plain lies Hsien, their one-time base in the Land of Unknown Shadows, and with it the promise of safety - of a sort.
Amidst the struggle to rebuild what is left of the Company, Arkana and Shukrat, the two young Voroshks now reluctantly serving as the Company's annalists, find themselves haunted by vague omens and the threat of starvation. But, even more disturbing, are sightings of a strange, ragged creature, that appears to be wearing the body of the left-behind Croaker...
INCLUDES FOREWORD BY STEVEN ERIKSON, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MALAZAN, BOOK OF THE FALLEN

Reviews

This volume also makes clear that there are plenty of fascinating corners of this sprawling world left to explore, especially given a reference to the “ten thousand examples of evil behavior” not yet recorded in the Company's annals. Cook's cadre of fans will find this well worth the wait.
Publishers Weekly, starred review on Lies Weeping

Over the past 25 years, Cook has carved out a place for himself among the preeminent fantasy writers of his generation… His work is real, complex, and honest.
Jeff VanderMeer, author of Annihilation
-
With the Black Company series Glen Cook single-handedly changed the face of fantasy... He brought the story down to a human level, dispensing with the cliché archetypes of princes, kings, and evil sorcerers.
Steven Erikson, author of Malazan Book of the Fallen

Glen writes a mean book.
Jim Butcher, author of The Dresden Files
-
An all-time classic... a book that has left its mark [on] the entire genre.

Cook's singular talent for combining gritty realism and high fantasy provides a singular edge….Highly recommended.
