The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant by Stephen R Donaldson is a dark and often sinister fantasy that delves deep into the human psyche.When Thomas Covenant contracts leprosy and is lead to believe that he cannot be cured, but with suitable medication his disease can be kept in check. He struggles to come to terms with his disease, and with the loss of a finger he almost regresses into lunacy.
When he tries to save someone’s life, he is transported into a mystical world full of magic and danger; in this world his leprosy is cured. However, he assumes that as he has been told that there is no cure, that this land Illearth is an imaginary land in which his mind has retreated.
In this land he reluctantly tries to battle the evil Lord Foul, assisted by a band of followers who see him as a powerful wizard; his Golden wedding band signifying that he has magical powers. As he believes he is dreaming this land, he is forced into mistakes and often makes incorrect and devastating choices.
