A choice between good and evil for a good character is no choice at all. A choice between good and evil for an evil character is likewise no choice at all. But Covenant is also morally ambiguous in another way: his motivations for doing good are questionable. In the third novel, The Power that Preserves , Covenant vows to destroy Lord Foul, but his companion, Triock, calls into question his motivation.

Does Covenant really want to kill Lord Foul to save the Land, or does he want to kill Foul because it will satisfy his own hatred?

The Bloodguards are bound by their vow of allegiance to the Lords. All the other characters are bound by the law, strict moral codes or the constraints of good and evil.

Linden Avery returns to the Land in search of her kidnapped mentally ill son, whom she discovers fully healed and at the side of her believed-dead beloved, Thomas Covenant, leading an attack on Revelstone. 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,. Power That Preserves. Power That Preserves by Stephen R.
