In this second book of the Malloreon, Garion and Ce'nedra continue the quest begun in The Guardians of the West. In their party travel the immortal Belgarath the sorcerer, his daughter Polgara the sorceress, and the little Drasian, Silk.

This is a great book. I admit it is not as great as the Seeress of Kell (later in the series) but I still give it a 5 out of 5. I advise anyone who likes intense fantasy book/series, then this book is the one for you!

The question is, what dangers shall they encounter in this book? Will the power of the three sorcerers and friendship be enough? Will they retrieve Ce'nedra and baby Belgarion before it is sacrificed to Torak? Who will bring the baby to the Sardion? Will it be Zandramas? If you wish to find out what they are and what will happen, read the Malloreon series.

It will capture you and you will bow down to these words.
