"WE HAVE LOST THE BLOODGUARD."
"The Illearth Stone is a terrible wrong in the Land. The three Bloodguard were not forewarned-and the stone enslaved them.
"When First Mark Bannor saw how Korik and his comrades had been corrupted despite their Vow, he and all the Bloodguard abandoned their service. He said that they had been conquered by Corruption, and could no longer serve any Vow.
"My friend, without them-without the Staff of Law-without any immense army or dour-handed allies-we will surely fall. Only wild magic can now come between us and Lord Foul's hunger."
High Lord Mhoram had summoned Thomas Covenant to the Land for the third time, desperately trying to make him understand the hopelessness of their plight if he fails to use the white gold power he possesses to stop Foul's desecration.
Covenant cannot deny Mhoram's request. But the enormity of his task overwhelms him: how can he hope to defeat the greatest enemy the Land has ever known using a power he does not comprehend and cannot control?
