Mythopoeic Fantasy Award nominee 1983.
THE TRAIL OF PROPHECY
Legends told of
how the evil God Torak had coveted the power of the Orb of Aldur, until
defeated in a final baffle. But prophecy spoke of a time when he would
awake and again seek dominance over all the world. Now the Orb had been
stolen by a priest of Torak, and that time was at hand.
The master Sorcerer Belgarath and his daughter Polgara
the arch-Sorceress were on the trail of the Orb, seeking to regain it
before the final disaster. And with them went Garion, a simple farm boy
only months before, but now the focus of the struggle. He had never
believed in sorcery and wanted no part of it. Yet with every league
they traveled, the power grew in him, forcing him to acts of wizardry
he could not accept.
This continues the magnificent epic of The Belgariad,
begun in Pawn of Prophecy, set among strange lands against a background
of a war of men, Kings, and Gods that had spanned seven thousand
years – a novel of strange fate and a prophecy that must come true!
