D. Eddings & L Eddings / Paperback / Jul 1996
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.

D. Eddings & L. Eddings / Paperback / Apr 1998
Polgara the Sorceress soars above a world of warriors, kings, and priests. The daughter of Belgarath and the shape-shifter Poledra, she has worked her powerful magic for three thousand years. Now Polgara looks back at her magnificent life in this fitting crown jewel to the saga that is the Belgariad and Malloreon cycles.
Her hair streaked white by her father's first touch, her mind guided by a mother she will not see again for centuries, Polgara begins life in the Vale, growing up in her uncle Beldin's tower and in the prehistoric Tree that is the heart of that magical place. There she first learns the reaches of her powers and assumes the bird shapes that will serve her on her far-flung travels. As her adventures carry her far from the safety of the Vale, her spellbinding fate unfolds. For Polgara is destined to be guardian of the world's last, best hope: the heir to the Rivan throne.
