In this second volume of the Chronicles of the Black Company saga, A Pitiless Rain, Arkana and Shukrat return to An Abode of Raven imbued with powerful magic that they've barely begun to grasp. These powers allow them to do things theyโve never imagined, but have also opened them up to intrigue and murderous plotsโboth political and supernaturalโthat only they can contend with. The Land of Unknown Shadows has truly lived up to its name. Meanwhile, the new Steadfast Guardian's boundless curiosity has stretched him near his limits, putting at risk the demigod-once-known-as-Croakerโs remaining humanity. The only thing keeping him anchored are the misadventures of his adopted daughters, and the scheming Soulcatcher, doing all she can to escape her prison, or failing that, annoy him into releasing her. Something dark and dangerous is brewing on Hsien, with powerful forces making moves against the Black Company that would change the balance of power on this plane and beyond. And the only ones who could stand in their way are a distracted demigod and the self-proclaimed "Wild Witches" and their shadowy friends. The future of the Black Company has never been more uncertain.
