Stephen Donaldson returns to the internationally bestselling story of Thomas Covenant and The Land in this awesome, cataclysmic adventure
Desperate for help to find her adopted son, Jeremiah, Linden Avery has resurrected Thomas Covenant in a cataclysmic exertion of Earthpower and wild magic. But the consequences of her efforts are more terrible than she could have imagined.
Sorcery on that scale has awakened the Worm of the World's End: the ultimate end of all Time and therefore of all life, has been set in motion. The stress of reincarnation so many centuries after his death has fractured Covenant's mind and he cannot tell Linden where to find her son.
Now, plunged to depths of desperation and despair for which she is entirely unprepared, Linden seeks radical responses to the dilemmas she has created. Searching for Jeremiah and accompanied only by a few friends and allies, she takes chances that threaten her sanity, forcing her to confront the Land's most fearsome secrets.
