‘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.

Lying unconscious after an accident, writer Thomas Covenant awakes in the Land – a strange, beautiful world locked in constant conflict between good and evil.

But Covenant, too, has been transformed: weak, angry, and alone in our world, he now holds powers beyond imagining and is greeted as a saviour. Can this man truly become the hero the Land requires?
