Thomas Covenant finds himself back in the Land after forty years have passed in that world. Elena, daughter of Léna, now rules the kingdom but faces an existential threat.

Elena turns to Covenant in desperation, begging for his help against this rising evil. Covenant must work alongside Hile Troy, a man born blind who also comes from the real world. The two men could not be more different in their approaches and personalities. Their ability to cooperate will determine whether the malevolent forces can be stopped. The survival of an entire people hangs in the balance as these unlikely allies face impossible odds.
