THE PRINCESS AND THE SORCERERS


Ce'Nedra, Imperial Princess of Tolnedra, is confused.

Everyone knows the tales of the Orb protecting the West from the evil god Torak are just silly legends. But here she is, forced to join a serious and dangerous quest to recover that stolen Orb. No one believed in sorcery.  Yet Garion's aunt and grandfather seem to be the fabled sorcerers Polgara and Belgarath, who would have to be thousands of years old.  Even young Garion is learning to do things that could only be sorcery.

Garion!  He's was nothing but a farm boy, totally unsuitable for an Imperial Princess. The why did she have such an urge to teach him, to brush back his tangled hair, and to comfort him?

Now he is going to a strange tower in the center of all he believed evil, to face some horrible, powerful magician.  And she wouldn't be there to watch over him.

He might be killed!  She'd never see him again...


This carries on the magnificent epic of The Belgariad, begun in Pawn of Prophecy and Queen of Sorcery, a fantasy set against the background of a 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!

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
