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, his daughter Polgara the Sorceress, and inevitably the little Drasnian, Silk.

Guided by the Orb of the God Aldur, their way led through the fould swamps of Nyissa, then into the lands of the Murgos. And at the end, they must face a terrible 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 contend 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 the impossible place when Zandramas arrived, they would lose - forever.

Personal Rating: 7.5
Eddings continues his intuitive narrative and his understanding of ‘true fantasy’ is a delight. There are alot of characters in this world of his. By this time it’s getting a bit hard to keep up with them all.

Content Rating: E
This is going to be the same throughout the entire series… Why should it be different?
