Book description
In this fourth book of The Malloreon, Garion and his companions
continue their desperate search for Zandramas, the child of dark and
abductor of Garion's baby son, Geran. Led by the orb from Mallorea to
the island of Melcena, they discover the place where the sardion once
rested and also find Senji, a self-taught wizard whose undamaged copy
of the Ashabine oracles carries a message for Garion from the evil god Torak.
As Zandramas's intention to fulfil the Dark Destiny becomes clear,
Garion and his friends know that they must travel to Kell. There they
will discover from the Malloreon Gospels the truth of their ultimate
destination, The Place Which Is No More. But the friends are not alone
in their search as the prophecies of Cyradis, the Seeress of Kell,
begin to be fulfilled.
