Long ago, so the Storyteller claimed, the evil God Torak sought dominion and drove men and Gods to war. But Belgarath the Sorcerer led men to reclaim the Orb that protected men of the West. So long as it lay at Riva, the prophecy went, men would be safe.
But that was only a story, and Garion did not believe in magic dooms, even though the dark man without a shadow had haunted him for years.
Brought up on a quiet farm by his Aunt Pol, how could he know that the Apostate planned to wake dread Torak, or that he would be led on a quest of unparalleled magic and danger by those he loved - but did not know?
For a while his dreams of innocence were safe, untroubled by knowledge of his strange heritage. For a little while...
THUS BEGINS BOOK ONE OF THE BELGARIAD
Untitled
A classic coming of age tale wrapped in magic and action. This series follows Belegarion as he discovers he's far more important than he ever imagined. An unwilling subject of The Prophecy (which happens to be self aware) He's sent of on a quest to recover a magic sword (of course) and slay a god. (wait what?) A funny and absorbing read Eddings puts all the cliches of fantasy into one series and makes it work! A great read for younger readers moving up to adult works or someone after a nice light read. - Caitlyn (QBD)
