From Glen Cook, the godfather of Grimdark, comes the third book in the Glittering Stone arc of the Chronicles of The Black Company—an epic military fantasy series, with millions of copies in print.



Regrouping in Taglios, the surviving members of the Black Company are determined to free their fellow warriors held in stasis beneath the glittering plain. Journey there under terrible conditions, they arrive just in time for a magical conflagration in which the bones of the world will be revealed, the history of the Company unveiled, and new world gained and lost...all at a terrible price.

“With the Black Company series Glen Cook single-handedly changed the face of fantasy.”—New York Times bestselling author Steven Erikson
