Castle of Wizardry
END OF THE QUEST
It had all begun with the theft of the
Orb that had so long protected the West from the evil God Torak. Before
that, Garion had been a simple farm boy. Afterward, he discovered that
his aunt was really the Sorceress Polgara and his grandfather was
Belgarath, the Eternal Man. Then, on the long quest to recover the Orb,
Garion found to his dismay that he, too, was a sorcerer.
Now, at last, the Orb was regained and the quest was
nearing its end. Of course, the questors still had to escape from this
crumbling enemy fortress and flee across a desert filled with Murgo
soldiers searching for them, while Grolim Hierarchs strove to destroy
them with dark magic. Then, somehow, they must manage to be in Riva
with the Orb by Erastide. After that, however, Garion was sure that his
part in these great events would be finished.
But the Prophecy still held future surprises for Garion – and for the little princess Ce'Nedra!
This continues the magnificent epic of The Belgariad, begun in Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, and Magician's Gambit - a fantasy set against a background of the war of men, Kings, and Gods that had spanned seven thousand years - a novel of fate, strange lands, and a prophecy that must be fulfilled!
