They Cry will be the title of Book 2 of the upcoming Black Company saga, A Pitiless Rain.
Glen Cook revealed in a long-awaited update – an interview in April 2024 with Bob Byrne at Black Gate[1] – that A Pitiless Rain will be divided into 4 volumes. Mr. Cook later mentioned that the release date for They Cry would be February 2026, but this corrected by his literary agent Russell Galen, who stated the release date would actually be November 3, 2026, a full year after the publication of Lies Weeping.
