Bestselling authors David and Leigh Eddings welcome readers back to
the time before The Belgariad and The Malloreon series. Join them as
they chronicle that fateful conflict between two mortally opposed
Destinies, in a monumental war of men and kings and Gods.
When the world was young and Gods still walked among their mortal
children, a headstrong orphan boy set out to explore the world. Thus
began the extraordinary adventures that would mold that youthful
vagabond into a man, and the man into the finely honed instrument of
Prophecy known to all the world as Belgarath the Sorcerer.
Then came the dark day when the Dark God Torak split the world asunder,
and the God Aldur and his disciples began their monumental labor to set
Destiny aright. Foremost among their number was Belgarath. His ceaseless
devotion was foredoomed to cost him that which he held most dear--even
as his loyal service would extend through echoing centuries of loss, of
struggle, and of ultimate triumph.
