END OF THE QUEST
It had all begun with the theft of the Orb that had so long protected the West from the evil God Torak. Before that, Garion had been a simple farm boy. Afterward, he discovered that his aunt was really the Sorceress Polgara and his grandfather was Belgarath, the Eternal Man. Then, on the long quest to recover the Orb, Garion found to his dismay that he, too, was a sorcerer.
Now, at last, the Orb was regained and the quest was nearing its end. Of course, the questors still had to escape from this crumbling enemy fortress and flee across a desert filled with Murgo soldiers searching for them, while Grolim Hierarchs strove to destroy them with dark magic. Then, somehow, they must manage to be in Riva with the Orb by Erastide. After that, however, Garion was sure that his part in these great events would be finished.
But the Prophecy still held future surprises for Garion--and for the little princess Ce'Nedra.
This continues the magnificent epic of The Belgariad, begun in Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, and Magician's Gambit--a fantasy set against a background of the war of men, Kings, and Gods that had spanned seven thousand years--a novel of fate, strange lands, and a prophecy that must be fulfilled!

on your good taste, Delban.’ She smiled, patting his cheek with a fond little laugh. ‘Shall we say tomorrow morning?’ The armor, Ce’Nedra decided the following morning as she inspected herself in the mirror, was perfect. ‘Well, what do you think, Adara?’ she asked her friend. ‘It looks very nice, Ce’Nedra,’ the tall girl replied, although a bit dubiously. ‘It’s just exactly right,’ Ce’Nedra said happily, turning so that the blue cape fastened to the shoulder pieces of the breastplate flared
central Arendish plain. Ce’Nedra by that time had gathered nearly every able-bodied Asturian into her army, and her hosts spread out behind her in a sea of humanity as she led the way out onto the plain. The sky above was very blue as they left the trees behind, and the grass was very green beneath the hooves of their horses. ‘And where now, your Majesty?’ Mandorallen inquired. ‘To Vo Mimbre,’ Ce’Nedra replied. ‘I’ll speak to the Mimbrate knights, and then we’ll go on to Tolnedra.’ ‘I hope
already begun to work on that. She considered the problem from every angle as she sat alone in her tent that evening, brushing her hair. She needed something to stir her countrymen and she instinctively knew what it must be. Quite suddenly the silver amulet at her throat gave a strange little quiver, something it had never done before. Ce’Nedra laid down her brush and touched her fingertips to the talisman. ‘I know you can hear me, father,’ she heard Polgara say. A sudden image rose in
moment she was dreading was approaching, and there was no way she could forestall it. ‘And this is Adara,’ Lady Polgara said, indicating the lovely creature at Garion’s side. Ce’Nedra wanted to cry. It wasn’t fair! Even the girl’s name was beautiful. Why couldn’t it have been something ugly? ‘Adara,’ Lady Polgara continued, her eyes intently on Ce’Nedra’s face, ‘this is her Imperial Highness, the Princess Ce’Nedra.’ Adara curtsied with a grace that was like a knife in Ce’Nedra’s heart. ‘I’ve
Ce’Nedra had still not forgiven him for his sudden elevation, and Garion was having grave doubts about the whole notion of marrying her. Much as he liked her – and he did like her – he regretfully concluded that Ce’Nedra would not make him a good wife. She was clever and spoiled, and she had a streak of stubbornness in her nature as wide as an oxcart. Garion was fairly certain that she would take a perverse delight in making his life as miserable as she possibly could. As he sat on his throne
