<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Now in trade paperback comes the long-awaited finale to the landmark "New York Times" bestselling series, The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Stephen R. Donaldson presents the first novel of the four-volume finale to the series that's become a modern fantasy classic: The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. <p/></b>Thomas Covenant lost everything. Abandoned by his wife and child, sick and alone, he was transported while unconscious to a magical, dreamlike world called the Land. Convinced it was all a delusion, Covenant was christened The Unbeliever by the Land's inhabitants--but gave his life to save this new-found world he came to regard as precious. <p/>Ten years after Covenant's death, Linden Avery still mourns for her beloved companion. But a violent confrontation with Covenant's son, who is doing the evil Lord Foul's bidding, forces her into the Land, where a dark malevolence is about to unmake the laws of nature--and of life and death itself. It is here that she comes upon Esmer, son of the Dancers of the Sea, a creature of strange powers who draws Linden backwards through time to witness Thomas Covenant's return to life, and to reinvent the mysterious, dangerous, and violent history of the Land.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>The Runes of the Earth</i></b> <p/> "A reawakening of a classic fantasy saga."--<i>Library Journal</i> <p/> "Startlingly original antiheroic fantasy resonating with echoes of both Tolkien and Philip K. Dick."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/> "An epic with page-turning intrigue."--<i>Detroit Free Press</i> <p/> "Impressive...filled with splendid inventions."--<i>Booklist</i> <p/> "The most important and original work of epic fantasy after Tolkien...Rich in paradox, metaphor, and symbolism, Donaldson continues his explorations into the psyches of his characters, as well as themes of estrangement, despair, guilt and responsibility.
