Annals of the Black Company (The Black Company; Shadows Linger; The White Rose)

From Amazon reader review: "I have read this book three times in the last 15 months. I'm on my fourth time right now. I can say without a doubt, that this is one of my favorite books. It takes place in a different time in a different world where magic, creatures, and ancient evils run wild. I know it sounds like every other Fantasy book out there, but something sets this one apart. All three of these books follow the Chronicler of the Black Company Croaker as he and his misfit mercenary band of outcasts and law breakers work for the Lady. From start to finish this book will have you hooked. Wonderfully written with many plot twists, interesting and developing characters, this is a book you cannot afford to miss out on."
