Jediný, kdo může běh událostí zvrátit, je Thomas Covenant. Aniž by sám věřil ve vítězství, rozhodne se nepříteli postavit. Doprovází ho obr, strážce krve a šílená žena, jíž kdysi ublížil. Pán Zlor přebývající ve svém Útulku je přitom s každou další porážkou sil bojujících za Končinu silnější a silnější.

The second volume in The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever, now part of the Voyager Classics collection. After scant days in his 'real' world, Thomas Covenant found himself summoned once more to the Land. There, 40 bitter years had passed while Lord Foul, immortal enemy of the Land, moved to fulfil his prophecy of doom. The Council of Lords found their spells useless, now that Foul the Despiser held the Illearth Stone, ancient source of evil power. High Lord Elena turned in desperation to Covenant and the legendary white gold magic of his ring. Nobody knew how to use the white gold - least of all Thomas Covenant.

He called himself Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever, because he dared not believe in the strange world on which he suddenly found himself - the Land. But only the mystic powers of the white gold he carried could protect the Lords of the Land from the ancient evil of the Despiser, Lord Foul.
