Oh hey, thank you for a Black Company secret!
Glen Cook's series is the example I bring up every time people rave about Games of Thrones being the one and only "realistic heroic fantasy" out there, and why of course it's necessary to have 2 rapes per novel for it.

I really loved those novels, though they're probably harder to read than Games of Thrones.
I didn't feel like writing fan-fictions or looking for a proper fandom, though, because the stories seemed well-rounded as they were. There's hardly room for more, is it?

In lieu of fan-art, check the official art covers of the French edition at L'Atalante publisher, by Didier Graffet. They really caught my eyes when I discovered the series.

Are you saying that Black Company does or does not have 2 rapes per novel?

It doesn't.
It gets very dark in places, actually it is dark and gritty pretty much all the time, but I don't recall a single rape. Maybe allusions (I last read it several years ago), but not a regular thing.

I just finished the first book today, and there are definitely direct mentions of rape in it. Nothing happens on screen, so to speak, though.

Did you forget how they first came across Darling? That was pretty horrific. But even then he doesn't describe it in graphic detail and doesn't try to make it titillating.

In that case, I'll give it a try!
