Donaldson's most celebrated series is ''[[The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant]]'', which centers on a cynical [[leper]], shunned by society, who is destined to become the heroic savior of another world. Covenant struggles against the tyrannical Lord Foul, who intends to break the physical universe in order to escape his bondage and wreak revenge upon his arch enemy, The Creator.

The ''Chronicles'' were originally published as two trilogies of novels between 1977 and 1983. According to his current publisher, Putnam's, those two series sold more than 10 million copies. A third series, ''The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant'', began publication in 2004 with the novel ''The Runes of the Earth''.   With the second book of that series, ''Fatal Revenant'', Donaldson again attained bestseller status when the book reached number 12 on the [[New York Times Bestseller List|''New York Times'' Bestseller List]] in October 2007.
