Synopsis

Twice before, Thomas Covenant had been summoned to The Land, the strange otherworldly realm where magic worked and his leprosy vanished. Twice before, he’d been dragged reluctantly into conflict against Lord Foul’s minions, with disastrous consequences for everyone around him. Now, Covenant is back.In a land blasted by war and drowning in despair, Covenant is the only hope against Foul’s imminent triumph. Yet in order to win he must stand against his dearest friends and direst foes in combat. As Lord Mhoram leads the armies of the Land in helpless warfare, the wild magic of Thomas Covenant’s white gold wedding ring is once again The Land’s only salvation—and he still has no idea how to use it.

Goodreads review by Andrew on December 23, 2020

My reviewing vocabulary is not the strongest.

Goodreads review by Michael on August 12, 2015

This is magnificent! I've reread the first Thomas Covenant trilogy after some 30ish years, mainly because I want to read the latest, concluding trilogy in the series but need to refresh my memory first. I enjoyed 'Lord Foul's Bane' and loved 'The Illearth War', but I had forgotten just how tremendou......more

He faltered and his eyes fell. "High Lord, does it come to this? Is this the end for us-for the Land?" Mhoram put a firm hand on Quaan's shoulder. "No, my friend.

Though I enjoyed the first two, even now, thinking back on it more than thirty years later, I believe this book was magnificent. Donaldson is able to weave wisdom and sheer humanity into the story with such......more

Goodreads review by Fantasy boy on August 20, 2022

Can a reluctant, selfish, self-loathing, pitiless antagonist save a world which he truly didn't believe? Power That Preserves is the answer to the question. Thomas Covenant was sent back to earth for a short time. He was facing the charge that could evict him from his property, at the meantime every......more
