THE BELGAR1AD:
PART TWO by David Eddings
An exultant song seemed to soar in his mind, filling him with wonder. It was the Orb, Garion knew the living jewel, recovered from the servants of the maimed god Torak after more than a year of searching. But the danger was not over.
Murgo soldiers were hunting them, intent on capturing those responsible for their leader's fall. Even more to be feared were the Grolim Hierarchs—evil priests who could fuse the power of their minds to attack anyone, anywhere with devastating effect.
Garion's own powers were growing—a heritage of sorcery he was reluctant to use but helpless to deny. More than ever he was grateful for his friends, whose experience was so much greater than his, and whose unique abilities had proved their worth many times during the long quest for the Orb.

Belgarath the Sorcerer, centuries-old disciple of the god Aldur, had led them for most of the quest—and had nearly lost his life in the final confrontation with the evil one from whom they had regained the Orb.
