Summary
"BELGARIAD is exactly the kind of fantasy I like. It has
magic, adventure, humor, mystery, and a certain delightful
human insight."
PIERS ANTHONY
The master Sorcerer Belgarath and his daughter Polgara
the arch-Sorceress were on the trail of the Orb, seeking to
regain its saving power before the final disaster prophesized
by the legends. 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.
