In the bodies of chickens, lambs, piglets and one stillborn infant he sees the same message: Indemnie is doomed.But even in the face of certain destruction a man may fight, and Gordian is utterly loyal to his beautiful Queen - and to her only daughter.

Stephen Donaldson lived in India for 13 years with his father, a medical missionary, who worked extensively with lepers; it was here that he conceived the character of Thomas Covenant.

He is also the author of the fantasy duology Mordant s Need , the SF epic quintet The Gap , and a number of mysteries written under the pseudonym Reed Stephens. He won the World Fantasy Award in 2000. The four books of The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant have been acclaimed worldwide.
