THE PRINCESS AND THE SORCERERS
Ce'Nedra, Imperial Princess of Tolnedra, was confused.
Everyone
knew that the tales of the Orb that protected the West from the evil
God Torak were just silly legends. But here she was, forced to join a
serious and dangerous quest to recover that stolen Orb. No one believed
in sorcery. Yet Garion's aunt and grandfather seemed to be the fabled
sorcerers Polgara and Belgarath, who would have to be thousands of
years old. Even young Garion was learning to do things that could only
be sorcery.
Garion! He was nothing but a farm boy, totally unsuitable
for an Imperial Princess. Then why did she have such an urge to teach
him, to brush back his tangled hair, and to comfort him?
Now he was going to a strange tower in the center of all
he believed evil, to face some horrible, powerful magician. And she
wouldn't be there to watch over him.
He might be killed! She'd never see him again...
