Thomas Covenant is a leper, a bitter and solitary pariah who is mystically transported to another Earth where time moves differently than ours, one in which magic takes many forms. The Land is threatened by many evils, the most immediate of which is a maddened Cavewight whose subterranean excavations have unearthed the ancient and puissant Staff of Law.
More dangerous to the free people of the Land is the Gray Slayer, Lord Foul, the Despiser, who intends to destroy the actual foundations of the Earth that he might wage war against the universe’s Creator. And Foul’s intended weapon in this conflict? None other than Thomas Covenant himself.

“The hottest fantasy writer since J. R. R. Tolkien.”
— Washington Post, praise for the author
“A trilogy of remarkable scope and sophistication.”
— Los Angeles Times" I've wanted to listen or read this book for years, and finally had the chance. I got about 1/3 of the way through it and turned it off. Donaldson's writing style is not my cup of tea. Too many overlong paragraphs full of flowery language that do not move the story along. I normally like Scott Brick, but his choice of a deep, slow voice for a female character was very strange. "
