Some feel 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 prophesy: The White Rose has been reborn, somewhere, to embody good once more.

There must be a way for the Black Company to find her...

Review of 'The Black Company' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Very good dark fantasy. World building is solid except for the names, which are quite silly. I don't know if characters are not supposed to have proper names or if Croaker (the narrator) is hiding them on purpose.
