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 quite farm by his Aunt Pol, how could he know that the Apostate planned to wake the dread Torak, or that he would be lead 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.
A magnificent epic of immense score
set against a history of seven thousand years of the struggles of Gods
and Kings and men - of strange lands and events - of fate and a prophecy
that must be fullfilled!

Warned
by the prophecy that a new and greater danger threatens the lands of the
west, Garion, Belgarath and Polgara must begin another quest to save the
lands from great evil.
Eleven years have passed since Garion's killing of the evil God Torak and his marriage to Ce'Nedra (where the Belgariad left off). He is now Overlord of the West, slowly learning how to cope with the duties of a king and to overcome the difficulties within his marrage.
When the Orb of Aldur warns Garion to "Beware Zandramas!" the Voice of the Prophecy reveals that somewhere in the unknown land of the East the Dark Prophecy still exists and that great new dangers threaten.
While Belgarath and Garion seek to uncover the nature of this threat, Garion's baby son is kidnapped. All evidence points to the loathsome Bear-cult which has gained power once more, and Garion leads an army bent on destruction. But there are even more sinister forces at work, and Garion and his followers must look towards the malign and mysterious evil of Zandramas. Their ques tmust begin again.
