The Annals of the Black Company

In the night, when the wind dies and silence rules the place of glittering stone, I remember. And they all live again. —Glen Cook, Soldiers Live

Lost Annals

Read after Soldiers Live, though the events occur between The Black Company and Shadows Linger.

On the Long Run

In chronological order of the events described. Events occur between Shadows Linger and The White Rose. In February 2026, Tor announced an as-yet untitled collection of Black Company short stories for 2027 or 2028. We don’t know whether that includes these tales but it seems a reasonable speculation.
