The Power That Preserves by Stephen R. Donaldson

The Power That Preserves (The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, #3)

by Stephen R. Donaldson

Twice before Thomas Covenant had been summoned to the strange other-world where magic worked. Twice he had been forced to join with the Lords of Revelstone in their war against Lord Foul, the ancient enemy of the Land.
Now he is back - to a Land ravaged by the armies of Lord Foul. The Lords are besieged and helpless. No place is safe and Foul's victory seems certain. Only Covenant can avert it.
Desperate and without hope, he sets out to confront the might of the Enemy. With him go a Giant, a Bloodguard and the madwoman he has wronged. And in Foul's Creche, Lord Foul grows in power with each new defeat for the Land . . .

This was the first book that introduced me to fantasy writing.
I was a teenager and a whole new world had become open.
Thomas Covenant had to see a doctor on a regular basis,until he accidently found somewhere he could live.

I thought this was an excellent book and would recommend it to everyone.
