Against all things ending: the last chronicles of thomas covenant - stephen r. donaldson

The long-awaited sequel to The Runes of the Earth and Fatal Revenant returns readers to the Land-and unravels some of the mysteries haunting Covenant and Linden Avery.

Thomas Covenant is alive again, restored to his mortal body by the unimaginable combined force of his own white gold ring, Linden Averys Staff of Law, and the ancient dagger called High Lorics krill.

His resurrection is Lindens defiant act of love, despite warnings from mortals and immortals that unleashing this much power would destroy the world.

She brought his spirit back from its prison in the Arch of Time, and revived his slain body, so that Covenant lies whole on the cool grass, and the world seems at peace.

But the truth is inescapable: The thunderclap of power has awakened the Worm of the Worlds End, and all of them, and the Land itself, are forfeit to its devouring.

If they have any chance to save the Land, it will come from unlikely sources--including the mysterious boy Jeremiah, Lindens adopted son, whose secrets are only beginning to come to light.
