IT ALL BEGAN WITH THE CHRONICLES OF THOMAS COVENANT THE UNBELIEVER...

"At the age of 30, Stephen R. Donaldson makes his debut before an audience created and spoiled by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien with a trilogy of remarkable scope and sophistication that conquers almost as much territory as it claims."
- Los Angeles Time

...AND NOW THE STORY CONTINUES IN THE WOUNDED LAND

4000 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 as exciting and heroic as ever.

"THE WOUNDED LAND is... a deeper, richer world than that presented in the previous volumes... Donaldson is extending himself, creating a fuller, more mature world of imagination..."
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
