THE BURDEN OF DESTINY
Sparhawk, Pandion Knight and Queen's
Champion, returned to Elenia after ten years of exile, only to find his
young Queen Ehlana trapped in a block of ensorcelled crystal. Only the
great sorcery of Sephrenia, ageless instructor of magic, kept her
alive – but the spell would last only a year, and its cost was
tragically high.
Now a Prince Regent ruled Elenia, the puppet of Annias,
ambitious Primate of the Church who planned to seize power over all the
land.
As Sparhawk and Sephrenia set out to find a cure for
Ehlana, Sephrenia revealed that there was only one person in the west
who could defeat the evil plots against Ehlana. That person was
Sparhawk.

What Risingshadow readers think about this book
The Diamond Throne isn't an excellent book, but it's an enjoyable fantasy story. This may sound strange, but I actually enjoyed this book much more than the previous books that Eddings has written.
I know that many people have criticized Eddings for writing about same characters with different names. I must also say that this is unfortunately true for this series. If you've read The Belgariad and The Malloreon, the characters feel very familiar.
