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.

As a novel I also have only glowing endorsements for this story. I personally enjoy Cook’s style of offering up large scale summaries of events (such as of the troop movements at the Battle of Charandaprash), but know that you will be in for having to really pay attention to the words to get a clear view of what’s going on. You may have to pause and back up a few times to map out events in your head, since Cook is an author who allows you to deduce the conclusions that characters may act on but not voice specifically. However, the high degree of interiority we get from Murgen helps this story feel very human-scale, where he is a semi-major player in events and is important to the most critical individuals.
Hey, if you’ve gotten this far (past the horrendous reading of Dreams of Steel in particular), may as well keep going.
A spectacle of storytelling craftsmanship
