Against All Things Ending

In "Against All Things Ending," Stephen R. Donaldson continues the harrowing saga of Thomas Covenant and Linden Avery. After an unimaginable confluence of power—Covenant's white gold ring, Linden's Staff of Law, and High Loric's krill—Covenant is miraculously resurrected from the Arch of Time, his mortal body restored. This defiant act of love by Linden, despite dire warnings, has brought him back, but at a catastrophic cost: the thunderclap of unleashed power has awakened the Worm of the World's End. Now, the very existence of the Land and all its inhabitants is imperiled, destined for consumption by this ancient, devouring entity. With time running out, hope must emerge from the most unexpected places, including Linden's adopted son, Jeremiah, whose own unfolding secrets may hold the key to salvation or ultimate destruction. The novel plunges deeper into the intricate lore and existential threats that define Donaldson's dark fantasy world, forcing its heroes to confront the ultimate consequences of their choices.
