In a turbulent world marked by conflict and shifting allegiances, a group of hardened mercenaries continues their relentless quest for survival amidst the chaos. Shadows Linger delves deeper into the lives of these battle-weary soldiers as they navigate the treacherous landscape of warfare, betrayals, and moral dilemmas that arise with each new mission.
The camaraderie among the mercenaries is both a source of strength and a breeding ground for tensions. Old rivalries and secrets emerge, challenging their bonds and testing their loyalty to one another. Through the grit and turmoil, the characters reveal their complexities; each soldier carries scars from the past that dictate their present decisions and future paths.
As they face daunting foes, both human and supernatural, the mercenaries are forced to confront not just the battles around them but also the darker aspects of their own natures. Themes of honor, guilt, and redemption weave through their journey, painting a vivid picture of the costs associated with a life spent in conflict.
In this richly crafted narrative, Glen Cook invites readers to witness the struggles and triumphs of a band of warriors as they seek not only victory on the battlefield but also their own personal reconciliations in a world that seems intent on tearing them apart. The story engages with the complexities of honor and survival in a landscape where shadows linger, waiting to engulf the unwary.
