Dream Test for the Land
Did Covenant perform a kind of dream test in The Power That Preserves? I seem to remember him deciding that if something or other happened he would wake up from the dream.

It wasn't ready for the big time. It doesn't even have an ISBN or cover. Vella is for serial publication, th...

White Gold Versus Black Gold! Not oil, but black gold. Not gold really, just gold-colored flames against black-colored flames. Not real flames, but they can still burn if hot enough. This is not Thomas Covenant. Get over it! It's hero versus anti-hero! (Think Linden versus Covenant with Lord Foul an...
