Product Description
Bestselling authors David and Leigh Eddings welcome readers back to the time before The Belgariad and The Malloreon series. Join them as they chronicle that fateful conflict between two mortally opposed Destinies, in a monumental war of men and kings and Gods.
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.

The Belgariad and the Malloreon would have to be one of my favourite book series of all time . I reread the series every year and never get bored with it.If you haven't read the series start with The Pawn of Prophercy first. 10/10

Backstory the elder.
In a similar fashion to the Polgara the Sorceress volume, here we get the backstory of ubersorcerer Belgarath, and learn why he is so.
It all has to do with good gods and bad goods and the disciples of such, along with whacky sorcerer-name prefixes.
Old is certainly the word for this bloke, and it gives you more of an overview of what is going on. Again, basically better than the main series.

I love it when the series is all done, and I can burn through it without having to wait for the next book to be written. This was a very good book.

I loved this book. I've read all of the Belgariad and the Mallorean books and never get tired of re-reading any of them.

I love this book. This is my second copy. I have re-bought all of the Eddings series as they have worn out over the years.
