Description
The Climax of the Entire Thomas Covenant Chronicles
After more than three decades, having attained bestseller status all over the world, The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant reaches its conclusion. This is a truly historic moment in fantasy, as Stephen R. Donaldson's innumerable fans learn the final fate of the Land.
The Worm of the World's End is roused, seeking the ruin of all things....
Compelled step-by-step to actions whose consequences they could neither foresee nor prevent, Thomas Covenant and Linden Avery have fought for what they love in the magical reality known only as "the Land.” Now they face their final crisis. Reunited after their separate struggles, they discover in each other their true power—and yet they cannot imagine how to stop the Worm of the World's End from unmaking Time. Nevertheless, they must resist the ruin of all things, giving their last strength in the service of the world's continuance.
You risk much, as you have ever done. Mayhap you will prevail. If you do not, your worth is not thereby diminished.
