It is time, Thomas Covenant fans!
Now that Lord Foul's Bane arrived into the warehouse and we've shipped out all copies, it is time to launch the pre-order period for The Illearth War, Book 2 of The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant.
I don't need to go into deep detail about my love for this series. I will say that I would not be doing what I am doing now without Stephen R. Donaldson and his anti-hero Covenant. I wouldn't be publishing these special limited books if I hadn't fallen in love with the Land like so many have. And I wouldn't have hired artist Allen Morris if I didn't think he could bring all of that to life in a beautiful way.
The Illearth War will match up with our edition of Lord Foul's Bane and it will feature the same quality materials, same amount of interior art, and same love going into it. Pre-order The Illearth War and its slipcase together on the same receipt now to save on shipping costs.
And as usual, we will match your numbered copy of Lord Foul's Bane to the same number on The Illearth War. It's helpful if you put the number in the Notes section when you checkout but it is not necessary. We double-check all numbers to ensure we keep matching sets together as well as a customer service to all of you.
For you folks who own the Lettered Edition of Lord Foul's Bane, no, we have not forgotten you. Jeff will be reaching out to all of you later this week with information about how to buy your matching copy of The Illearth War.
Hope you are staying smart, sane, and safe during this trying time! All our best wishes to you and yours.
In care,
Shawn Speakman
