The LadyGlen Cook's Black Company<img src="http://www.clarkesworldbooks.com/images/large/cook_she_pb.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> She and ten other immensely powerful sorcerers were bound to her first husband, the Dominator, and helped him forge an evil empire that only a peasant girl with the power to nullify magic was able to end. But neither the Dominator nor his Lady nor the Ten Who Were Taken were killed; they were merely imprisoned. And when a group of wizards tried to awaken them all centuries later, the Lady was able to prevent the resurrection of her husband and built her own empire.The Dominator kept trying to rise, though, and it was that which led to a fragile alliance with the new White Rose, the Black Company that protected her and formed the core of her army, and with the Company's physician and Analist, Croaker.Stripped of her power when the Dominator was finally defeated, she abandoned her empire to join Croaker in searching for the origins of his band of mercenaries.</blockquote>
