The wind whines and howls with bitter breath. Lightning snarls and barks. Rage is an animate force
upon the plain of glittering stone. Even shadows are afraid. At the heart of the plain stands a vast
grey stronghold, unknown, older than any written memory. One ancient tower has collapsed across the
fissure. From the heart of the vastness comes a great, deep, slow breath like that of a slumbering
world-heart, cracking the olden silence.
Death is eternity. Eternity is stone. Stone is silence. Stone cannot speak, but stone remembers.
So begins the next movement of Glittering Stone....The tale again comes to us from the pen of Murgen,
Annalist and Standard Bearer of the Black Company, whose developing powers of travel through space
and time give him a perspective like no other.
Led by the wily commander, Croaker, and the Lady, the Company is working for the Taglian government,
but neither the Company nor the Taglians are overflowing with trust for each other. Arrayed against
both is a similarly tenuous alliance of sorcerers, including the diabolical Soulcatcher, the psychotic
Howler, and a four-year-old child who may be the most powerful of all.
