Series: Great Gods War

Two kingdoms, ancient enemies, must stand alone against an

implacable invader in the masterful conclusion of the Great God's War

epic from the New York Times bestselling author of the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant.

They are coming.

The

kingdoms of Belleger and Amika had been fighting for generations. But

then they learned of a terrible threat moving through them to destroy

the Last Repository, an immense hidden library. To face this greater

enemy, King Bifalt of Belleger and Queen Estie of Amika allied their

lands and prepared for war.

They are at the door.

Now

the time of preparation is over. Black ships and sorcery test the

cannon that defend the Bay of Lights. Treachery and betrayal threaten

the kingdoms. The priests of the Great God Rile sow dissent. And Estie

rides for the Last Repository, desperate to enlist the help of their

Magisters-and to understand the nature of her own magical gift.

They are here.

Bifalt

hates sorcery as much as he loves Estie, and the discovery that she

could become a Magister shatters him. But he must rally and fight.

Belleger and Amika are all that stand between the Great God's forces and

his ultimate goal: the destruction of the Last Repository and its

treasure of knowledge.

Stephen Donaldson lived in India for 13 years with his father, a medical missionary, who worked extensively with lepers; it was here that he conceived the character of Thomas Covenant. He was awarded the John W. Campbell Award as Best Writer of the Year for The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant The Unbeliever, which, with the sequel trilogy, became instant bestsellers. He is also the author of the fantasy duology 'Mordant's Need', the SF epic quintet 'The Gap', and a number of mysteries written under the pseudonym Reed Stephens. He won the World Fantasy Award in 2000. The four books of The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant have been acclaimed worldwide.
