But the evil god Torak is awakening and will stop at nothing to recapture the Orb. Belgarath knows from the prophesies that the future of the world hinges on a final battle between Garion and Torak. Without alerting Polgara or anyone else at the castle, Belgarath, along with Garion and their friend Silk, sneak out of Rivan castle to face this final battle.
With the future of the world in danger, Princess Ce’Nedra finds the strength to raise an army, intent on helping Garion combat Torak and his forces. The fourth book in the 5-part bestselling Belgariad series.
"Eddings' BELGARIAD is exactly the kind of fantasy I like. It has magic, adventure, humor, mystery, and a certain delightful human insight."
- Piers Anthony on PAWN OF PROPHECY
"Absorbing. Touches all the right Fantasy bases. Warring gods, political intrigues, supernatural creatures, and appealingly human magicians."
- Publishers Weekly on QUEEN OF SORCERY
"A graceful, fluid style of storytelling rare in fantasy writing.”
- Publishers Weekly

Customer Reviews
Pure fun to read.
As captivating today as it was in my youth.
Fond Memories
In an age of Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and zombies galore it’s good to see the works of David Eddings finally in a format I can take with me anywhere. This entire series and the ones to follow were my fond companions growing up and helped shape me into the man I am today. The moral and ethical lessons contained inside, along with the action and character development taught me more than I can truly express in a simple book review.
To see iBooks finally carrying the series and hopefully to quickly get the rest of David and Leah’s work online has truly brougnt back of the fondest memories of my childhood and teen years. I really hope you all enjoy the series as much as I did and here’s also hoping that Hollywood takes notice of this overlooked gem and decides to bring it to the big screen.
Finally
It been great having an opportunity to at last have this series in an ebook formate. I do wish the books would come available faster. They have been coming at a rate of 1 every two months. It will take a couple of years at this rate to get the best of the David Eddings books but still worth the wait.
