Beschrijving

Donaldson makes a triumphant return to the Land.  
Covenant and all of his contradictory emotions and actions are back in this richer and more developed story.  
And this time, Foul isn't fooling around.  
 
The Wounded Land actually started with a new character: Linden Avery, who comes from horrible traumas in her past. Her employer sends her to Thomas Covenant whose ex-wife is insane.  
She is actually possessed by Lord Foul who is more dangerous than ever.  
 
This possession, though unknown to Linden at the time, is pivotal to her summoning (and Covenant's) to the Land.  
 
When they are summoned, they are called to a harsh and desolate Land, warped and wounded by the ferocious Sunbane.  
The Sunbane is a corona around the sun that change the "weather" with fertility, pestilence, rain, and drought in mad succession.  
 
In order for the people to survive, the leaders of each village must sacrifice one of their own's blood to appease the Sunbane.  
 
Covenant is determined to put Foul down once and for all, but in order to do that, he and Linden must remake a Staff of Law which is one of the only ways to counteract the Sunbane.  
And on the way Foul lays out his evil yet cunning plan.  
 
Grueling yet gratifying, Donaldson has triumphed in yet another chronicle of one of the greatest fantasy epics of all time.  
With stunning imageries and breathtaking sequences, The Wounded Land is a sure-fire success bound to delight fantasy addicts everywhere.
