Glen Cook, the father of Grimdark, returns to the Chronicles of the Black Company with a military fantasy adventure in Port of Shadows.

The soldiers of the Black Company don?t ask questions, they get paid. But being ?The Lady?s favored? is attracting the wrong kind of attention and has put a target on their backs--and the Company?s historian, Croaker, has the biggest target of all.

The one person who was taken into The Lady?s Tower and returned unchanged has earned the special interest of the court of sorcerers known as The Ten Who Were Taken. Now, he and the company are being asked to seek the aid of their newest member, Mischievous Rain, to break a rebel army. However, Croaker doesn?t trust any of the Taken, especially not ones that look so much like The Lady and her sister?

When he finds his fate tied to a new Taken, Croaker, in whom The Lady has taken a particular interest, must use all of his cunning to insure that The Lady and her ?loyal? Taken do not destroy the company once and for all.

"Years into a campaign against the rebels who have rallied behind the White Rose have left the Company jaded and the Lady seems to have taken particular interest in Croaker since his stay in the Tower hasn't exactly made his life easier. The Limper is upto his old tricks and is doing everything within his power to separate Croaker and the Black Company from The Lady's favor. Croaker finds his fate tied to a new Taken. One claiming to be something impossible but feels uncomfortably familiar. It's going to take all of Croaker's cunning to insure that the plans of The Lady and her "loyal" Taken don't destroy the company once and for all."--
