DONALDSON ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ THE WOUNDED LAND Hardcover with dust jacket; 492 pages; Size Approx. 5 3/4 X 8 1/2. Published by Del Rey, Ballantine Books; copyright 1980, BCE. Details: "'You are mine!' The voice was that of Lord Foul the Despiser, gloating over his triumph. Thomas Covenant, leper and pariah in his own world, was back in the Land, high up on Kevin's Watch, again listening to the evil promises of Foul. And beside him lay Dr. Linden Avery, whose efforts to save him had doomed her to share his summons. Ten quiet, undisturbed years had passed for Covenant since he was last called to the Land where magic and Earthpower worked. At that time, as ur-Lord Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, he had used the wild magic of his white gold ring to defeat the evil plans of Lord Foul and seemingly destroy that ancient of the Land. He believed that Foul was banished forever. But time was different here. In the Land, nearly four thousand years had passed. Foul had returned to power, stronger and more determined to destroy this world than ever, no longer checked by the rule of the Staff of Law. Earthpower was useless against the Sunbane, which desecrated the Land under alternating drought, pestilence, and unnatural fertility. In Revelstone, the na-Mhoram exacted a title of blood sacrifice on all who still existed. Elsewhere, a man might have to shed the blood of his own child to save his community. 'You are mine!' Foul's evil laughter gloated. Thus begins a new trilogy, The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, with all the power and magic that made the original Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever a bestselling trilogy, already acclaimed a classic." (from the dust jacket flaps)THE ONE TREEHardcover with dust jacket; 491 pages; Size Approx. 5 3/4 X 8 1/2.Published by Del Rey, Ballantine Books; copyright 1982, BCE.Details: "'I'm going to leave the Land--try to find the One Tree. So I can replace the Staff of Law. I don't know what else to do,' Covenant said. 'I don't know how long I'm going to be gone, and every day they kill more people. Somebody has to stop them.' Thug Thomas Covenant, accompanied by Linden Avery, begins his search for the One Tree aboard the Giantship Starfare's Gem. Armed with knowledge given to him in Andelain by his trusted friend, the Forestal Hile Troy, Covenant was determined to succeed. He was the last hope for the salvation of the Land. Only he had the power to forge a new Staff of Law and return to the Land to stop the encroaching desecration of the Sunbane and the bloody sacrificial rites of the Clave. But fate decreed that the journey was to be long, arduous, and fraught with danger as Covenant and his companions are assailed by powerful forces whose sole purpose is to ensure the failure of their quest. The One Tree, Book Two of The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, continues the extraordinary saga that has become an international bestseller with close to four million copies in print." (from the dust jacket flap)WHITE GOLD WIELDERHardcover with unclipped dust jacket; 485 pages; Size Approx. 5 3/4 X 8 1/2.Published by Del Rey, Ballantine Books; copyright 1983.Details: "'...I want you to go back to the Land. To Revelstone. And Stop the Clave. Put out the Banefire. If you do that, the Sunbane'll slow down. Maybe it'll even recede. That'll give us time to look for a better answer.' Thomas Covenant was shocked by Linden Avery's demand; but he realized that, despite their awful failure on The Isle of The One Tree, there was no alternative but to return and fight. Mhoram had warned him: '...In the end, you must return to the Land.' After a long and arduous journey overland, the company reaches Revelstone. Following a fiery showdown with Gibbon Raver, Covenant discovers that he can come to terms with -- and control -- his awesome power. As he readies himself for the final showdown with Lord Foul, the Despiser, Thomas Covenant knows he has the answer at last." (from the dust jacket flap)A fine addition for your bookshelf!

If you have questions about the book before or after purchasing, please feel free to contact us!Packaging:We take pride in packaging our books for safe delivery, and if you check our feedback, you will see this reflected in the comments of many pleased customers. For nearly all of our books, we use a specially designed boxing system from IPS (Inovative Packaging Solutions) located in York, PA. These media shipping boxes are designed to conform to the size of the book, securing it and preventing it from bumping around during shipping. The end result is a box which provides a double thickness of cardboard covering the front and back of the book; actually almost like a box within a box. The outer layer of cardboard extends beyond the ends of the inner "box" which very efficiently protects the corners of the book from being bumped and damaged by the sometimes rough handling packages receive in transit. In addition we place the book in a plastic bag to help guard against moisture if a package is left out in the elements.Delivery:We aim to get all books shipped within 24 hours of order except on weekends. We can't control the delivery time once a book leaves our hands, but most of the time USPS is prompt in delivery, and the expected delivery time given by eBay is usually fairly accurate. Because we use media mail to keep costs down, it does take a little longer for delivery, and occasionally packages get delayed in the mail system. If for some reason your order has not arrived within the expected time frame, please get in contact with us so that we can try to help you.
