Cover Blurb :

After the devastating battle at the Tower of Charm, Croaker leads the greatly diminished Black Company south, in search of the Lost Annals. The Annals will be returned to Khatovar, eight thousand miles away, a city that may exist only in legend... the origin of the first Free Companies.

Every step of the way the Company is hounded by shadowy figures and carrion-eating crows. As they march ever southward, through bug-infested jungle, rivers dense with bloodthirsty pirates, and cities, dead and living, haunted by the passage of the Company north, their numbers grow until they are thousands strong.

But always they are watched -- by the Shadowmasters -- a deadly new enemy: twisted creatures that deal in darkness and death; powerful, shadowy creatures bent on smothering the world in their foul embrace. This is the first round in a deadly game, a game the Black Company cannot lose -- or hope to win. Welcome to Shadow Games.

Cover Blurb :

Nous sommes la dernière des compagnies franches de Khatovar. Nos traditions et nos souvenirs ne vivent que dans les présentes annales et nous sommes les seuls à porter notre deuil.

Aujourd'hui c'est la fin. Nous nous sommes séparés. Pourtant je continuerai, moi Toubib, à tenir ces annales. Et, qui sait? ceux à qui je dois les ramener y trouveront peut-être quelque intérêt. Le cœur ne bat plus mais des spasmes agitent encore les membres. La Compagnie noire est morte de fait mais son nom survit. Et nous, ô dieux impitoyables, restons pour mesurer le pouvoir des noms.

La route du Sud est devant nous.

S'engage une longue et rude pérégrination. Or dans le Sud règnent les redoubtables Maîtres d'ombres.
