Fate leads on...
To stranger lands and darker magic...

of sorcery - and his spirit - are tested to their limits.
David Eddings (1931-2009) published his first novel, High Hunt, in
1973, before turning to the field of fantasy with The
Belgariad, soon followed by The Malloreon.
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 US Army, worked as a buyer for the Boeing Company,
and was both a grocery clerk and a college English teacher. He lived
in Nevada until his death, at the age of 77.
