# REDIRECT The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant is a series of ten high fantasy novels written by American author Stephen R. Donaldson.

The series began as a trilogy, entitled The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever.

This was followed by another trilogy, The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, and finally a tetralogy, The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant.

Thomas Covenant, an embittered and cynical writer, afflicted with leprosy and shunned by society, is fated to become the heroic savior of The Land, an alternate world.

Stephen R. Donaldson's works are infused with psychological undertones involving an exploration of the darker side of the protagonist Thomas Covenant whilst preserving strong humanist ideals.

In the First Chronicles, Thomas Covenant strives to avoid responsibility for the Land by denying that he has power to control the wild magic in his ring.

In the Second Chronicles, Thomas Covenant discovers the powerlessness that comes from too much power.

( They were not allowed to possess Thomas Covenant, for instance, because his ring would make them too powerful for Lord Foul to control.

There are, however, other languages extant: for example, in Lord Foul's Bane, Atiaran tells Thomas Covenant that a different language was spoken in the age of the Old Lords.
