Lord Foul's Bane: The first book in one of the most remarkable epic
fantasies ever written, the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, Unbeliever.
He called himself Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever because he dared not believe in
the strange alternate world in which he suddenly found himself. Yet he was
tempted to believe, to fight for the Land, to be the reincarnation of its
greatest hero…
The Illearth War: The second volume in the epic Chronicles of Thomas Covenant
the Unbeliever.
Thomas Covenant found himself once again summoned to the Land. The Council of
Lords needed him to move against Foul the Despiser who held the Illearth Stone,
ancient source of evil power. But although Thomas Covenant held the legendary
ring, he didn't know how to use its strength, and risked losing
everything…
The Power that Preserves: Twice before Thomas Covenant had been summoned to the strange other-world where magic worked. Twice before he had been forced to join with the Lords of Revelstone in their war against Lord Foul, the ancient enemy of the Land. Now he was back. This time the Lords of Revelstone were desperate. Without hope, Covenant set out to confront the might of the enemy, as Lord Foul grew more powerful with every defeat for the Land…
