1st Trilogy:
1. Lord Foul's Bane
He called himself Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever because he dared not believe in the strange alternate world in which he suddenly found himself.
Yet 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 Despiser, Lord Foul. Only...Covenant had no idea of how the power could be used!

2. The Illearth War
After scant days in his "real" world, Thomas Covenant found himself again summoned to the Land. There forty bitter years had passed, while Lord Foul, immortal enemy of the Land, moved to fulfill his prophecy of doom.
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 hold magic of his ring. And nobody knew how to use the white hold--least of all, Thomas Covenant.

3. 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 - to a Land ravaged by the armies of Lord Foul. The Lords were besieged and helpless. No place was safe and 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 were 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.

Novella - Gilden-Fire
Any reader familiar with the Land, Stephen R. Donaldson’s setting for The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, will be pleased to learn of this new story: a previously untold episode of The Illearth War.

This is the tale of Korik Bloodguard, the Lords Shetra and Hyrim, and their company, on their mission to Seareach. Many dangers and many hard decisions await them on their journey, as they travel through Grimmerdhore Forest and encounter ur-viles, a pack of wolves, and Gilden-Fire.

In this story we gain more background and understanding into the lives and motivations of the dwellers of the Land, as well as the history of the Bloodguard – of great interest to anyone who enjoyed the Thomas Convenant novels.

2nd Trilogy:

1. The Wounded Land
4,000 years have passed since Covenant first freed the Land from the devastating grip of Lord Foul and his minions. The monstrous force of Evil has regained its power, once again warping the very fabric and balance of the Land. Armed with his stunning white hold, wild magic, Covenant must battle not only the terrifying external forces but his own capacity for despair and devastation. His quest to save the Land from the ultimate ruin is as exciting and heroic as ever.

2. The One Tree
Thomas Covenant and Linden Avery begin their search for the One Tree that is to be the salvation of the Land. Only he could find the answer and forge a new Staff of Law--but fate decreed that the journey was to be long, the quest arduous, and quite possibly a failure...

3. White Gold Wielder
Thomas Covenant knew that despite his failure on the Isle of The One Tree, he had to return to the Land and fight. After a long and arduous journey, fighting all the way, he readies himself for the final showdown with Lord Foul, the Despiser, and begins to understand things he had only just wondered about before...
