From international bestseller Glen Cook comes the eleventh book in the chronicles of the Black Company — the series that forever changed the face of fantasy.
The Black Company has been paid to keep the peace in the backwater city of Aloe — but peace has never been good for business.
Ordered to crush a rising rebellion, the Company must rely on their newest ally: the enigmatic Mischievous Rain, the newest member of the Taken that looks eerily like the Lady, and who Croaker knows better than to trust.
With a target on his back and strange happenings plaguing the city, Croaker begins to suspect that something might be tampering with their minds and maybe even history itself...
Glen Cook grew up in northern California, served in the U.S. Navy, attended the University of Missouri, and was one of the earliest graduates of the well-known Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers’ Workshop. Since 1971 he has published a large number of Science Fiction and fantasy novels, including the occult-detective ‘Garrett’ novels, and the very popular ‘Black Company’ sequence that began with the publication of The Black Company in 1984. After working many years for General Motors, Cook now writes full-time. He lives near St. Louis, Missouri, with his wife Carol.
