The first three Malloreon books appear in a single volume, taking us on an epic quest across strange lands among gods, kings, sorcerers, and ordinary men. It is a gripping tale of two ancient warring destinies fighting a battle of good against evil.

Garion has slain the evil God Torak and is now the King of Riva. The prophecy has been fulfilled—or so it seems. For there is a dire warning, as a great evil brews in the East. Now Garion once again finds himself with the fate of the world resting on his shoulders. When Garion’s infant son is kidnapped by Zandramas, the Child of Dark, a great quest begins to rescue the child. Among those on the dangerous mission are Garion and his wife, Queen Ce’ Nedra, and the immortal Belgarath the Sorcerer and his daughter, Polgara. They must make their way through the foul swamps of Nyissa, then into the lands of the Murgos. Along the way, they will face grave dangers—captivity, a horde of demons, a fatal plague—while Zandramas plots to use Garion’s son in a chilling ritual that will make the Dark Prophecy supreme. . .

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

David Eddings (1931-2009) published his first novel, High Hunt, in 1973, before turning to the field of fantasy with the Belgariad, soon followed by the Malloreon. Born in Spokane, Washington, and raised in the Puget Sound area north of Seattle, he received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Reed College in Portland, Oregon, in 1954, and a master of arts degree from the University of Washington in 1961. He served in the US Army, worked as a buyer for the Boeing Company, and was both a grocery clerk and a college English teacher. He lived in Nevada until his death, at the age of 77.

Well I paid $15 for a used book. Almost as much as brand new. Food stains inside and crease on back cover.

In my opinion, David Eddings (along with Raymond Feist) is one of the best fantasy writers since Tolkien. I read this series when it was first published and now that I am retired from work, have the time to reread all of his books. They are just as good now as they were originally. Great stories, characters, and world building. He is one of the great masters of fantasy!

5.0 out of 5 stars These are the kind of books you happily buy twice :)

"The Malloreon" is the sequel in five tomes to David Eddings' "The Belgariad". This special edition compiles the first three books of "The Malloreon": "Guardians of the West", "King of the Murgos" and "Demon Lord of Karanda".

In those books, we get to meet the characters we learn to love in "The Belgariad", and some new ones (for example, Silk will meet a young woman that is more than his match). There is plenty of adventure, magic and a lot of that quirky sense of humour so characteristic of Eddings at his best. There is also a new quest: Belgarion's son has been kidnapped by an evil sorcerer named Zandramas in order to fulfill an ancient prophecy. If Belgarion and his friends want to save him, they will need to fulfill a parallel prophecy, and vanquish Zandramas. The fate of the world as they know it is in their hands...

Of course, and almost needless to say, I strongly advise you to read these books in order. By that, I mean reading first the five tomes of "The Belgariad" and only afterwards start the five tomes of "The Malloreon". That is the way in which these books were meant to be read, and they are strong reasons for that. Make yourself a favour, and read them books in the correct order, as you will enjoy the series even more.

All in all, I highly recommend "The Malloreon Volume One". I read these books ages ago, but I still enjoy them a lot. Truth to be told, I didn't really need this special edition of the first 3 books in "The Malloreon", as I already am the proud owner of these books in their Spanish edition. All the same, I decided to buy them again in order to be able to read the series in its original language, English. Other advantages of this edition are that it isn't expensive at all, and that it doesn't take up to much space in your library. On the whole, buying "The Malloreon Volume One" is a win-win situation. Enjoy it :)

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2022

It's a solid story but, to me, not nearly as good as the Belgaraid. The plot is rather slow. The characters spend a lot of time standing around discussing what they should do. It gets tiresome at many points, and I had to put it down for a while. If you've read his first series, you should read this one as well. It's nice to see everyone back again. But if you had a hard time with the first series, I'd suggest skipping this one.

IF YOU ARE JUST STARTING TO READ THESE - Start with the Pawn of Prophecy - Book I of the Belgariard. David Eddings Malloreon series are in one word - SUPERB. When ever I want to escape from todays word, I only need to open his books and get totally transported to an engaging world of fantasy and suspense. His character development leaves me wanting more, fortunately there are five books in this series and five in the previous the Belgariard. When I re-read these books, (I do frequently), it is like visiting old friends.

How could Hollywood not have made this or the Belgariad into a movie series yet? If Peter Jackson could turn The Hobbit into three 3-hour movies, these books could produce more movies than the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Read the Belgariad first.

Having enjoyed 'The Belgariad' all through, again after several years, I'm now halfway through this book - series 1 to 3 - it makes my Winter reading a joy. The usual sardonic humour is not lost, although The Belgariad is recommended as a first course, this being continuation of the saga.
