White Gold Wielder: Stephen Donaldson

Book III in The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. From bitter defeat on the Isle of One Tree, Thomas Covenant, Linden Avery and the Giants of the Search take ship again. But the Starfare's Gem is crippled and, captured by the Dolewind, sets course for the perils of the shifting sea of Giantish legend. The Search is led back to Land, now dangerously close to destructuion from the ravages of Sunbane, and in the fastness of Revelstone, the Clave feed the growing power of the Banefire with the blood of the Land's people. As Covenant and Avery are drawn into the caverns beneath Mount Thunder, even the white gold they carry may not serve against Lord Foul's powers. For once the wild magic is unleashed, the Arch of Time will crack and Lord Foul's conquest of the Land is assured. Cover art by Peter Goodfellow.
