The first book of the Belgariad, set in a world of Gods and kings and magic, follows the journey of Garion, a young man with a mysterious past and a destiny to fulfill. Garion is brought up on a quiet farm by his Aunt Pol, but his dreams of innocence are soon shattered by the dark man without a shadow who has haunted him for years. As Garion's journey takes him across the land, he is led on a quest of unparalleled magic and danger by those he loves, but does not know. The prophecy states that the evil God Torak seeks dominion and drives men and Gods to war, and Garion must fight to reclaim the Orb that protects men of the West. The story is a testament to the power of the human spirit to overcome even the most daunting of challenges.
