Lord Foul's Bane by Stephen R. Donaldson
In "Lord Foul's Bane," a man suffering from leprosy is unexpectedly transported to a mystical land called the Land, where he is mistaken for a reincarnated hero destined to save the world. Despite his disbelief and self-doubt, he is thrust into a conflict against the evil entity known as Lord Foul, who sends him on a quest to deliver a message to the Council of Lords. Struggling with his own inner demons and the physical and moral challenges of his journey, the protagonist must come to terms with his identity and the reality of the Land, all while grappling with the implications of his actions on both the fantastical world and his own condition.
