Book description
Now in the final stages of their quest for his son, Garion and his
companions travel to Kell to consult the only undamaged copy of the
Malloreon Gospels. For centuries the Seers have guarded this book from
the Grolims and even had their wizards put a curse of blindness on any
Grolim who tried to enter Kell.
So, as proclaimed in Guardians of the West, Belgarion the Godslayer
sets out with those who must join him: the Eternal Man, the Guide, the
Man with Two Lives, the Bearer of the Orb and the Silent Man, and the
rest of his companions to The Place Which Is No More to make the final
choice - darkness or light.
But Zandramas the Sorceress will not be outdone. Though she may not
enter Kell she still has young Geran and should she reach the final
meeting place with him, then Garion must slay his son or the world
will be no more.
THUS ENDS THE EPIC STORY OF THE MALLOREON
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.
