Mr. Eddings's prose is competent but undistinguished, and his characterization is relatively flat; one cannot have too much growth and change if the characters may have to last for many more volumes in rigid roles. The writer's appeal appears to reside in a cavalcade of incidents whose only point seems to be moral instruction, often with wisecracks - scenes either provide overt examples of good and bad behavior or show and tell how to behave under specific circumstances.... This book is as solid as a marshmallow, and as nourishing, attenuated and inflated to unnatural size.
The New York Times
Warned by the prophecy that a new and greater danger threatens the lands of the west, Garion, Belgarath, and Polgara must begin another quest to save the lands from great evil.
Three years have passed since Garion's killing of the evil god Torak and his marriage to Ce'Nedra. He is now Overlord of the West, slowly learning how to cope with the duties of a king and to overcome the difficulties within his marriage.
When the Orb of Aldur warns Garion to "Beware Zandramas!" the Voice of Prophecy reveals that somewhere in the unknown land of the East the Dark Prophecy still exists and that great new dangers threaten.
While Belgarath and Garion seek to uncover the nature of this threat, Garion's baby son is kidnapped. All evidence points to the loathsome Bear-cult, which has gained power once more, and Garion leads an army bent on its destruction. But there are even more sinister forces at work, and Garion and his followers must look towards the malign and mysterious evil of Zandramas. Their quest must begin again.
