Beschrijving boek
The triumphant return to the Sunday Times bestselling fantasy series, a modern classic that has changed the face of epic fantasy.
Since their publication more than twenty years ago, the first six books in The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant have sold more than 10 million copies and have been published around the world. Now, with The Runes of the Earth, Stephen Donaldson returns to the Land, and the story of Thomas Covenant. Struck down with a deadly disease, abandoned by his wife and son, Covenant was drawn into the Land, where the earth itself brings healing, and welcomed as the reincarnation of a legendary saviour. Though he could not - would not - accept this magical world was real, the Land itself was under threat, and only Covenant had the power to save it - and the sacrifice of his life was the Land’s redemption as well as his own.
Now comes the book every fantasy reader has been awaiting. Ten years on, Dr. Linden Avery had thought she would never see the Land, or Covenant, her beloved, again. But Lord Foul has stolen her adopted son, and there is more at risk than the life of the boy she adores: Lord Foul is unmaking the very laws of nature and if he is not stopped, he could destroy everything. And though Linden believes Covenant dead, he keeps sending her messages: ‘Find me’, and ‘You’re the only one who can do this’, and ‘Remember that I’m dead’. The Land is in turmoil, and Lord Foul has plans for them all …
The Runes of the Earth is the first book of The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant.
