Description

Comparable to Tolkien at his best WASHINGTON POST
Returning millions of readers to the Land and continuing the epic story of the anti-hero fated to be its saviour, THE SECOND CHRONICLES OF THOMAS COVENANT secured Stephen Donaldsons reputation as a master of modern fantasy.

For ten years, Thomas Covenant has set the conflicts of the Land behind him. But thousands of years have passed in the Land and the creeping evil of Lord Foul has grown so strong that its influence is felt even in our own world.

Accompanied by doctor Linden Avery, Covenant returns. Together, they find themselves in a deadly struggle to control not only the spread of Fouls corruption but also the devastating power of Covenants own magic.

Reviews

JOHN W. CAMPBELL AND BRITISH FANTASY AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR

The Thomas Covenant saga is a remarkable acheivement which will certainly find a place on the small list of all true classics
WASHINGTON POST

Something entirely out of the ordinary youll want to go straight through Lord Fouls Bane, The Illearth War and The Power that Preserves at one sitting
THE TIMES

An irresistible epic imagination, heroism, excitement, made all the more real by Donaldsons deft handling of the rich history of the Land
