Lies Weeping : Volume 1 of the Black Company Saga: A Pitiless Rain by Glen Cook
The Black Company has retreated across the plain of glittering stone, toward a shadow gate that would let them trade the dangers of the plain for the questionable safety of the Company’s one-time haven in Hsien, a region in the world known as the Land of Unknown Shadows.
In Hsien, the company returns to their former base, An Abode of Ravens, where the Lady ages backwards in a return to force, shaking off the thrall, one breath at a time. Meanwhile, Croaker, ascended to godlike status as the Steadfast Guardian, has been left behind in the Nameless Fortress.
In their adopted father’s stead, Arkana and Shukrat have taken up the role of annalist for the Black Company. At first, life in Hsien appears quiet, even boring, but it is quickly apparent that strange goings on are more than what they seem, and it's up to them to discover the truth hidden in the shadows of this strange land.

Praise for this book
“Glen writes a mean book.”
—Jim Butcher, New York Times bestselling author
“Glen Cook changed the face of the fantasy genre forever . . . and for the better.”
—Fantasy Book Review, on The Black Company
“A master realist of the imagination.”―Locus
“Over the past 25 years, Cook has carved out a place for himself among the preeminent fantasy writers of his generation. . . . His work is unrelentingly real, complex, and honest. The sense of place that permeates his narrative and characters gives his ‘fantasies’ more gravitas and grit than most fictions set in the here-and-now.”
—Jeff VanderMeer, New York Times bestselling author
