Twice before, he'd been dragged reluctantly into conflict against Lord Foul's minions, with disastrous consequences for everyone around him. Now, Covenant is back.

Somebody has to stop them."Thus Thomas Covenant, accompanied by Linden Avery, begins his search for the One Tree aboard the giantship Starfare's Gem.

Unless the prince can gain this power for his kingdom, they...
