Led by their pragmatic Captain and chronicled by the detached Company annalist, Croaker, they ply their trade in the service of the Lady, an ancient and terrifying sorceress bent on conquering the last vestiges of resistance. Bound by a fierce loyalty only to each other, this band of hardened warriors and assassins must navigate brutal battlefields, treacherous politics, and the horrifying magic of their foes. Their survival depends on their wits, their blades, and their willingness to embrace the darkness around them, even as the lines between good and evil blur into oblivion.
