She is the last hope of good in the war against the evil sorceress known as the Lady. From a secret base on the Plains of Fear, where even the Lady hesitates to go, the Black Company, once in service to the Lady, now fights to bring victory to the White Rose. But now an even greater evil threatens the world. All the great battles that have gone before will seem a skirmishes when the Dominator rises from the grave.

Entertaining, but Suffers From Alignment Shift
Glen Cook continues a gritty, somewhat nihilistic bottom-up view of an Epic Fantasy struggle.. but he has abandoned the most original aspect of the 'Black Company' chronicle: the "bad guy" POV. By this third installment in the series, the characters in the books have become conventional "good guys".. complete with empathy, dedication against evil, altruism, and self-sacrifice. The shift helps to move the overall story-arc, but renders this third book somewhat run-of-the-mill.
This consummate novel in the 'Books of the North' sub-series is satisfying (completing that storyline neatly) and is loaded with well-contrived military action, but it doesn't have the same thematic impact that made the first novels so intriguing. The plot is twisty and full of surprises, the characters are complex and interesting, and the setting is fantastical and appealing, but Cook's prose is unspectacular (sophomoric at times), his dialogue is fair at best (too often surly and sarcastic), and his lack of description is frustrating (he introduces new species - e.g. Menhirs - without really saying what they look like). When you factor in abandoning the most interesting aspect of his vision to the formula, it becomes disappointing.
Marc Vietor turns in an above-average narration effort in 'The White Rose'.. but although it's great, it's not particularly notable.
Overall, this is a nice midpoint "conclusion" relating the early fate of the remnants of an engaging group of mercenaries, but the campaign is losing some lustre. This book rates 6 stars out of 10. You are certainly justified in continuing with the series - I am stopping here.
