Books of the South: Shadow Games, Dreams of Steel, The Silver Spike

by Glen Cook

Overview

Marching south after the ghastly battle at the Tower of Charm, the Black Company is hounded by shadowy figures every inch of the way.

 

The game is on: the Company versus the Shadowmasters, deadly creatures that deal in darkness and sorrow.

 

When hope dies, there's still survival. And there's still the Black Company.

 

The Book of the South is the second omnibus of novels from one of the greatest fantasy epics of our age, Glen Cook’s Black Company series—collecting Shadow Games, Dreams of Steel, and The Silver Spike.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“With the Black Company series Glen Cook singlehandedly changed the face of fantasy—something a lot of people didn’t notice and maybe still don’t. He brought the story down to a human level, dispensing with the cliché archetypes of princes, kings, and evil sorcerers. Reading his stuff was like reading Vietnam War fiction on peyote.”

—Steven Erikson, author of Gardens of the Moon
