About this ebook

“Wounded Land is . . . a deeper, richer world than that presented in the previous volumes. . . . [Stephen R.] Donaldson is extending himself, creating a fuller, more mature world of imagination.”—Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Four thousand 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 gold, wild magic, Covenant must battle not only terrifying external forces but his own capacity for despair and devastation. His quest to save the Land from ultimate ruin is exciting and heroic as ever.

Ratings and reviews

Another great addition to the Thomas covenant series. Covenant has matured a bit, but the need of the land is greater than it ever has been before, and the people of the land don't even know that it's been corrupted. Great sadness there is in the wounds of the land, yet old and new friends make it bearable as covenant finds redemption.

Low score because there is no audio book; I listen to books when I commute. May try Audible

Best fantasy series ever.
