Barclay, James

Military fantasy, well-developed characters, and masterful storytelling make this an outstanding choice for fans of Glen Cook's "Black Company" novels.

Military fantasy of the highest quality informs this powerful novel, which will appeal to fans of Glen Cook's classic "Black Company" novels.
