Linden Avery, who loved Thomas Covenant when they traveled together to the Land ten years ago, returns to this magical realm in search of her son, Jeremiah. There, not only does she find her son has been healed of the tragic mental condition that kept him mute and unresponsive for years, but she also finds Thomas Covenant himself, impossibly alive and frighteningly intent on carrying out a dark and dangerous plan. Yet when Linden hears Covenant’s voice in her dreams, crying “Linden, find me,” she’s forced to consider whether the man she’s traveling with is the same Thomas Covenant she loved and adored, or whether he’s been twisted into something dark and far more sinister.
