King of the Murgos
Locus Award nominee 1989.
BEGINNING OF THE QUEST
The infant son of Garion and
Ce'Nedra had been foully kidnapped. Now they began the great quest to
rescue the child, with the immortal Belgarath the Sorcerer, his
daughter Polgara the Sorceress, and inevitably the little Drasnian,
Silk.
Guided by the Orb of the God Aldur, their way led through
the foul swamps of Nyissa, then into the lands of the Murgos. And at
the end, they must face a horrible danger – to themselves and to all
mankind.
For the Dark Prophecy had not vanished when Garion slew
the evil God Torak. Instead, it had fled to Zandramas, who was now the
Child of Dark. Dark and Light still contended for mastery, and
Zandramas planned to use the child in some rite at the Sardion Stone to
insure that the Dark would triumph.
If they could not be at that impossible place when Zandramas arrived, they would lose – forever.
Here
David Eddings' bestselling The Malloreon continues as the epic quest
begins, across new lands and among strange peoples. A magnificent
fantasy of men, Kings, Sorcerers, and Gods caught up in a death
struggle between two ancient, warring Destinies – the culmination of a
seven-thousand-year war of Good and Evil.

David Eddings
David Eddings’ writing, much like the epic worlds he created, was built on layers of adventure, camaraderie, and an understanding of the human heart. Born in 1931 in Washington, D.C., Eddings came to be known as one of fantasy's most beloved authors, carving a space for himself with his sharp storytelling and vivid character development. His rise to prominence came with the Belgariad and Malloreon series, two beloved fantasy sagas that continue to captivate readers with their rich world-building and timeless themes of power, destiny, and friendship.
