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 (1931–2009) was an American author. Eddings' first books were general fiction and sold moderately. He later switched to writing epic fantasy novels and achieved best-selling status. David Eddings' wife, Leigh Eddings (1937–2007), is uncredited as co-author on many of his early books, but he later acknowledged that she contributed to them all.
Born in Spokane, Washington, and raised in the Puget Sound area north of Seattle, he received his bachelor of arts degree from Reed College in Portland, Oregon, in 1954, and a master of arts degree from the University of Washington in 1961. He served in the United States Army, worked as a buyer for the Boeing Company, and was also a grocery clerk and a college English teacher.
