Shadow Games (The Chronicles of the Black Company, #4)

The heart is stilled but the corpse stumbles on. The Company is dead in fact but not in name. And we, O merciless gods, stand witness to the power of names.
The Black Company is down to seven members, with Croaker as their new captain. The Lady has lost her powers and is trying to come to terms with it. (view spoiler)
After a looooot of travelling, a loooot of Lady struggling to adjust to her new life as something like a mere mortal and a looooot of Croaker's internal conflicts, it is finally time to kick-ass again and for some action, so if you find yourself bored at times during the inititial lecture of this book, hang in there, it takes a while but then is well worth the wait and you will be rewarded with
Only Murgen did not snap up a membership in the bitch-of-the-minute club. Good lad, that Murgen.

Somebody had to take the bull by the horns. We couldn’t go on forever both of us waiting for the other one to make a move. So why didn’t she do something? You the guy, Croaker. Yeah.
⚔a pinch of romance
If I said black they said white just to let me know they considered themselves Taglios’s real bosses. If I’d had time I’d have gotten vexed with them. I didn’t, so I didn’t play their games. I got them and their chief boys together, with the Prahbrindrah and his sister chaperoning, and told them I didn’t care for their attitude, that I would not tolerate it, and the schedule from here on in was do it Croaker’s way or die.
If they didn’t like that, they were welcome to take their best crack at me. Then I would roast them over a slow fire in one of the public squares. I did not make myself popular.
⚔Croaker and the Lady finally coming to terms with their new lives. Croaker is back!!! Finally. There. This is the Croaker I like.
⚔a new mission to accomplish, fighting and action.
⚔Oh and. Of course. Not to forget about that cliffhanger ending...

You the guy, Croaker. Yeah.
He's my guy. Just so you know.

Oh if only you knew that both Murgen and Croaker were at my doorstep last night. Accompanied by the Lady. They escaped from your so called high security harem to finally have some fun times. Might wanna watch that better ;)

Haha. Cute. Nice try and stuff.
P.S. Fun times is all they have at the harem. They'd rather be chopped into tiny little pieces than leave.
Or maybe they pretend, not to alert you and stuff. You never know.
