The Belgariad

(Redirected from Belgariad)

The Belgariad is a five book fantasy epic written by David Eddings.

Volumes include:

Another five book series, The Malloreon is the sequel to the Belgariad. Belgarath the Sorcerer (1995) and Polgara the Sorceress (1997) are prequels that share the setting and most characters. The Rivan Codex (1998) features annotated background material.

The books tell of the journey and coming-of-age of Garion, an orphaned farmboy (later known as Belgarion). Garion is accompanied by his guardian Polgara the Sorceress, and the ancient sorcerer Belgarath and a number of other important characters.

Each book's title combines a chess term with fantasy term. The concept of a Game of Destiny is a significant motif in the story.
