About this audiobook

Port of Shadows is the newest dark fantasy audiobook in Glen Cook's esteemed Chronicles of the Black Company series.

The father of Grimdark returns...


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...

I have been a fan of the Black Company annals since I first read the first book many years ago. I fell in love with all of the characters. I had no idea that this book existed. I do understand why some people feel that it isn't up to the "standards" of the original books. It does feel like most of the action does happen on the periphery of most of the story. But to me, this whole book felt like a love letter of sorts. I did enjoy it very much. 😊

It revitalized the series and because of it, I'm reading them all again.
