THOMAS COVENANT, UR-LORD

He called himself Covenant the Unbeliever, because he dared not believe in this strange alternate world on which he suddenly found himself.  The magic of the Land could not be real.  Loremasters could not draw fire from wood that never burned, not force stone to flow freely under their fingers.  Yet they did.  Hurtloam could not regenerate ruined nerves.  Yet, miraculously, it did.

The Land tempted him.  He had been sick; now he seemed better than ever before.  Through no fault of his own, he had been outcast, unclean, a pariah.  Now he was regarded as a reincarnation of the Land's greatest hero - Berek Halfhand - armed with the mystic power of White Gold.  That power alone could protect the Lords of the Land from the ancient evil of the Despairer, Lord Foul.  Only... Covenant had no idea of how the power could be used!

Thus begins one of the strangest epic fantasies ever written...

WHILE THE EVIL DAYS COME

After scant days in his "real" world, Thomas Covenant found himself again summoned to the Land - the strange world of magic and earthpower.  There forty bitter years had passed, while Lord Foul, moved to fulfill his prophesy of doom.  Foul's countless minions, led by a Giant Raver, were already on the march of destruction.  They were opposed only by the untried war skill of Hile Troy, blind and bitter exile from "reality."

The Council of Lords found their spells useless, now that Foul the Despiser held the Illearth Stone, ancient source of evil power.  High Lord Elena turned in desperation to Covenant and the legendary white gold magic of his ring.  And nobody knew how to use the white gold - least of all, Thomas Covenant.

Thus continues one of the strangest epic fantasies ever written...

THE FINAL CHALLENGE

Twice before, Thomas Covenant had been summoned to the Land, the strange other-world where magic worked.  Twice he had been forced to join with the Lords of Ravelstone in their war against Lord Foul, the ancient enemy of the Land.  Thomas Covenant, pariah on Earth, was a reincarnation of the Land's greatest hero, armed with the wild magic of White Gold - and without knowledge of its power!

Now he was back - to a Land ravaged by the armies of Lord Foul.  The Lords were besieged and helpless.  No place was safe for men.  Foul's victory seemed certain.  Only Covenant could avert it.

Desperately and without hope, he set out to confront the might of the Enemy.  With him went a Giant, a Bloodguard and the madwoman he had wronged.  And in Foul's Creche, Lord Foul grew in power with each new defeat for the Land.
