The Silver Spike

The Silver Spike is a spin-off novel from Glen Cook's The Black Company. The story combines elements of epic fantasy and dark fantasy as it follows two former members of The Black Company and the formerly renowned "White Rose" down their own path after parting ways with the company following the events at the conclusion of The White Rose.

Plot summary

The Dominator was a wizard of immense power who could not be killed by his enemies. He was, however, defeated and his evil essence imprisoned in a silver spike.

    The Spike

    by: Moistboyz

    Your mother said to stay away she's kneeling down to pray
    Don't even think to criticize he'll make your daughters
    There is a man who's got a knife he kills before he begs
    Slice your girl and dice her down she'll amongst the
    dregs
    You'll never see the boys again with stumpy little pegs
    He has to wear a sheath because the spike's between his
    legs
    Little bitches come to him - princess brides who've never
    sinned
    Can't protect the innocent - they're the ones who never
    Don't you try to run again - the warnings that your mama
    gave
    Think of all the time you saved by standing on the spike
    Wash in bloody water 'cuz you'll never heal the scars
    Cold metallic penetration makes you see the stars
    Razor sharp and purified you've never seen the likes
    There is no man that can compare to standing on the spike
    Little bitches come to him - princess brides who've never
    sinned
    Can't protect the innocent - they're the ones who never
    Don't you try to run again - the warnings that your mama
    gave
