Once again David and Leigh Eddings display the epic imagination, humour, and storytelling power which have made this series the most popular fantasy of modern times.

About this title

From the Publisher:

From the very beginning of PAWN OF PROPHECY, I was in awe of the character Polgara. I think all Eddings' fans are: she's the ultimate woman. And I mean that in a down-to-earth, very practical sense: of course she's gorgeous and a mighty sorceress, but she's also the one who has to pack when they're going on some epic quest; she's the one who makes sure they eat sensibly: gruel and tea instead of roast ox and beer for breakfast. She knows how to handle men and small boys and hysterical redheads, and she makes sure to have clothes fit for a throne room and a sharp rejoinder ready for her father.
        Big Dave thinks that Belgarath is the central character of The Belgariad and The Malloreon. But Leigh and I and hosts of others know better: Polgara is at the heart of these wonderful books.

From the Inside Flap:

ove a world of warriors, kings, and priests. The daughter of Belgarath and the shape-shifter Poledra, she has fought wars, plotted palace coups, and worked her powerful magic for three thousand years. Now, Polgara looks back at her magnificent life, in this fitting crown jewel to the saga that is the Eddings' Belgariad and Mallorean cycles.

Her hair streaked white by her father's first touch, her mind guided by a mother she will not see again for centuries, Polgara begins life in her Uncle Beldin's tower, and in the prehistorical, magical Tree that stands in the middle of the Vale. There, she first learns the reaches of her powers. There she assumes the bird shapes that will serve her on her adventures. And there she starts on the path toward her destiny as Duchess of Erat, shepherdess of the cause of good, adversary of Torak the One-Eyed Dragon God, and guardian of the world's last, best hope: the heir to the Rivan throne.

Here is the legendary life story of a woman of wit,
