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….

Thomas Covenant knew that despite his failure on the Isle of The One Tree, he had to return to the Land and fight.

The triumphant return of the -bestselling, critically acclaimed fantasy series that has become a modern classic.

Since their publication more than two decades ago, the initial six books in series have sold more than 6 million copies and have been published in ten countries around the world. Now, starting with , Stephen R. Donaldson returns with a quartet of new Covenant novels that are certain to satisfy his millions of fans, and attract countless new followers.

In the original series, a man-living in our world and in our time-is mysteriously struck down with a disease long since believed to have been eradicated. He becomes a pariah in his small town and is abandoned by his wife who departs with their infant son. Alone and despairing, Thomas Covenant falls and, while unconscious, is transported to a fantastic world in which a battle for the soul of the land is being waged. Christened "The Unbeliever"-for he is convinced the world is only an illusion, a dream-he finds himself slowly forced to accept the role that seems to be his destiny: savior of the Land.

At the end of the sixth book, Covenant is killed, both in the real world and in the Land, as his companion, Linden Avery, looks on in horror. His death is both the ultimate sacrifice-and his redemption.

At the opening of , ten years have passed. Linden Avery comes home one day to find her child building images of the Land with blocks, and senses a terrible foreboding. She had thought that she would never again be summoned to the Land-nor ever again see her beloved Thomas Covenant. But in the Land, evil is unmaking the very laws of nature…

The long-awaited sequel to returns readers to the Land-and opens with the reunion of Linden Avery and Thomas Covenant!

Linden Avery, who loved Thomas Covenant and watched him die, has returned to the Land in search of her kidnapped son, Jeremiah. As begins, Linden watches from the battlements of Revelstone when the impossible happens- riding ahead of the hordes attacking Revelstone are Jeremiah and Covenant himself, apparently very much alive.

Here in the Land, Jeremiah is healed of the mental condition that had kept him mute and unresponsive for so many years. He is full of life, and devoted to Covenant. But Covenant is strangely changed. Sarcastic and bragging, he no longer seems like the man whom Linden adored. And yet he says he has a plan: he will take her and Jeremiah to a place where they can find a pure source of Earthpower and, after he has achieved his own purposes, Linden will be free to use that great power to go home, to take Jeremiah home, or to do anything else she sees fit. Even though she distrusts the seemingly different man he has now become, how can she make any choice except to follow him?

Their journey will cover unimaginable distances through the Land-even through time itself-and will test Linden's courage again and again. In the end, fulfilling her destiny will call for a terrible leap of faith: Can she give up everything she thought had been restored to her, for the sake of the Land?

In his first novel, Elect Mr. Robinson For a Better World, Donald Antrim demonstrates all of the skill that critics have hailed in his subsequent work: the pitch-perfect ear, the cunning imagination, and the uncanny control of a narrative at once familiar and incandescently strange.

In Pete Robinson’s seaside suburban town, things have, well, fallen into disrepair. The voters have de-funded schools, the mayor has been drawn and quartered by an angry mob of townsmen, and Turtle Pond Park is stocked with claymore mines. Pete Robinson, third grade teacher with a 1:32 scale model of an Inquisition dungeon in his basement, wants to open a new school, and in his effort to do so he stumbles upon another idea: he needs to run for mayor. Uniquely hilarious, this novel is a horrifyingly insightful tale of a world not so very different from the one in which we live.

'¿Me está pidiendo que recorra la mitad de la galaxia en una nave que tiene mil doscientos años?'.
Eso era exactamente lo que el guardián deseaba que Zim Hiciera. El presidente de la Tierra insistía en que se utilizara para el viaje su nave 'Buscadora de Estrellas', y Zim no estaba en situación de discutor. Pero aquella vieja nave desvencijada estaba impulsada a fusión, por lo que tendrían que detenerse y repostar en mundos extraños como mínimo tres veces, y el Primer Ciudadano de la Tierra, maldita bestia arrogante, tenía naves de combate patrullando a la caza de ellos. ¡Iba a ser un largo viaje!

Todo lo que Geraden amaba estaba a punto de ser destruido…, a menos que él y Terisa de Morgan pudieran hallar una forma de impedirlo usando el talento para los espejos y la imageria que Terisa sabía ahora que ambos poseían: un talento que los hacía extremadamente poderoso…, y extremadamente peligrosos para el traidor Maestro Eremis. Y Terisa estaba convencida de que Eremis utilizaría todos los retorcidos medios a su alcance para asegurarse el éxito de su plan maestro, cuyo resultado sería la destrucción del reino, ¡ y la muerte de ellos dos!Con su tetralogía La Necesidad de Mordant, Stephen R. Donaldson ha conseguido lo que parecía imposible: superar en éxito, calidad y emoción su anterior obra maestra, las Crónicas de Covenant el Incrédulo. Con esta nueva y apasionante obra, Donaldson se ha reafirmado como el mayor exponente de la fantasía épica de la actualidad, y ha ocupado un lugar indiscutible entre los maestros de la literatura moderna.

Terisa Morgan se consideraba una mujer vulgar. De hecho, a veces incluso dudaba de la realidad de su propia existencia. Secretaria en una destartalada misión frecuentada por viejos y miserables, llevaba una vida anodina y solitaria. Por eso, aquella noche, mientras se preparaba para pasar otra deprimente velada sola, sufrió la mayor sorpresa de su vida cuando, al mirarse en uno de los muchos espejos que cubrían las paredes de su apartamento y le daban un poco más de sentido a la realidad de su vida, observó al otro lado a un apuesto joven. Y la sorpresa fue mayor aún cuando se dio cuenta de que no se trataba de un reflejo, sino que el joven estaba realmente al otro lado. Y la sorpresa se convirtió en estupor cuando el espejo se hizo bruscamente añicos, y de pronto aquel extraño joven estuvo en su misma habitación…Así se inicia otra gran fantasía de Stephen R. Donaldson, el cual nos sumerge en un escenario mágico donde la Imagen es algo a lo que hay que temer, los espejos no son lo que parecen, y donde la terrible necesidad de todo un reino, Mordant, hace que la Cofradía de Imageros acuda desesperadamente a otro universo en busca de un campeón que les ayude a solventar su terrible problema. Sólo que este campeón no es el que esperaban, y, además, es una mujer…

El castillo de Orison alza sus muros en medio del fascinante paisaje invernal de Mordant: una gran fortaleza cuadrangular, caótica, preparada para resistir todo tipo de ataques. Pero no la indiferencia de su propio Rey, la traición, y los feroces ataques de los monstruos de la Imagería..En este escenario es en donde se halla de pronto inmersa dama Terisa de Morgan, la mujer que cruzó un espejo mivoda por las súplicas de un joven y la necesidad de afirmar su propia existencia. Agitada ahora entre intrigas, sin comprender exactamente lo que ocurre a su alrededor pero viéndose arrastrada por ello pese a todo; objeto de la desconfianza, el anhelo, el odio y las esperanzas de todos los que la rodean; enfrentada a las lealtades y a la traición; sabiéndose impotente por hacer nada, pero sabiendo también, en lo más profundo de sí misma, que ella tiene que ser el campeón que libere Mordant de su necesidad.Y mientras tanto, los ejércitos de Alend se preparan a poner sitio a Orison…
