'Comparable to Tolkien at his best' WASHINGTON POST

Instantly recognised as a modern fantasy classic, Stephen Donaldson's uniquely imaginative and complex THE CHRONICLES OF THOMAS COVENANT, THE UNBELIEVER became a bestselling literary phenomenon that transformed the genre.

Against his will, Thomas Covenant is drawn once again out of our reality and into the strange and magical alternative world known as the Land.

But forty years have passed in the Land since Covenant's last visit - forty years in which the evil Lord Foul has grown in power and built an unstoppable army. Covenant must act fast or abandon the Land to complete destruction.

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 ... you'll want to go straight through Lord Foul's 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 Donaldson's deft handling of the rich history of the Land'
