About this ebook

“The hottest fantasy writer since J.R.R. Tolkien!”—The Washington Post

Thomas Covenant, accompanied by Linden Avery, begins his search for the One Tree aboard the giantship Starfare's Gem. Armed with the knowledge given to him in Andelain by his trusted friend, the Forestal Hile Troy, Covenant was determined to succeed. He was the last hope for the salvation of the Land. Only he had the power to forge a new Staff of Law and return to the Land to stop the encroaching desecration of the Sunbane and the bloody sacrificial rites of the Clave.

But fate decreed that the journey was to be long, arduous, and fraught with danger as Covenant and his companions are assailed by powerful forces whose sole purpose is to ensure the failure of their quest.

Ratings and reviews

I've read all the books up to this one, and enjoyed them. This one though, I found really hard get through. Slow tempo, and didn't hold my interest. Finally got through it, but the end was quite abrupt, as if they had to cut the book here because it simply got too long. I will definitely continue reading the series though.

I am HIGHLY disappointed that Google has all the books except for one. 'White gold wielder' is not available for purchase. I read these in highschool and would like to continue to the 3rd set... But I am reluctant to do that without refreshing that book too. I would gladly purchase all of them otherwise. :(

From the 1st book" Lord Foul's Bane" to the last book " The Last Dark" I have been on the edge of my seat. Mind you it has taken 20 years for Donaldson to finish this literature masterpiece, but it has been worth the wait.
