The Black Company (Chronicles of The Black Company, Bk. 1)

The Lady, newly risen from centuries in thrall, stands between humankind and evil. Some feel she is evil itself. The hard-bitten men of the Black Company take their pay and do what they must, burying their doubts with their dead.

Until the prophecy: The White Rose has been reborn, somewhere, to embody good once more. There must be a way for the Black Company to find her. . . .

So begins a work that changed our imagination of what epic fantasy can do.
