Linden Avery thought her days in the Land were over. Ten years have passed since the acclaimed series ended with Thomas Covenant's death. She has returned to her ordinary life, trying to forget the epic struggles she once faced. But when she discovers her child constructing block images that mirror the mystical Land, she realizes her connection to that realm remains unbroken. The Land calls to her once more, summoning her back for another battle against the forces of evil. This time, she will not fight alone. Thomas Covenant stands beside her again, though how this is possible after his death remains a mystery. Linden must confront both external enemies and the emotional weight of seeing her former companion restored to life. The fate of the Land hangs in the balance as she grapples with renewed purpose and the complex feelings that Covenant's return awakens within her.
