The First Chronicles: Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever

Lord Foul's Bane introduces Thomas Covenant — a leper shunned by society — who is ripped from his bleak life and deposited in the Land, a realm of ancient magic where he is venerated as the reincarnation of the hero Berek Halfhand.

Armed with a White Gold ring whose power he cannot control and will not believe in, Covenant must confront Lord Foul the Despiser while battling his own disbelief and moral failures in one of fantasy's most challenging opening volumes.

The Illearth War returns Covenant to the Land forty bitter years after his first departure — though only days have passed for him in the real world.

Lord Foul now wields the Illearth Stone, a source of ancient evil power that has rendered the Lords' spells useless, and High Lord Elena turns to Covenant and his legendary White Gold in a desperate gamble that will carry devastating consequences.

The Power That Preserves brings Covenant back for a third time to find the Land ravaged by unnatural winter and the Lords besieged in Revelstone, seemingly beyond hope.

Covenant sets out with a Giant, a Bloodguard, and a woman he has wronged to confront Lord Foul at the heart of his power — the culminating test of whether belief, however hard-won, can preserve a world on the brink of annihilation.
