Synopsis

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

Ce’Nedra, Imperial Princess of Tolnedra, was confused.

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

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

Now he was 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 . . .

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

A tower of evil - and a sorcerous battle . . .

A priest of Torak flees across the lands of the west, and two prophecies are now rushing towards one event - one decisive moment which will determine the future of the world.

Bound up somehow in these prophecies is Garion - a young lad struggling to develop the sorcery that lies within him. With him is Ce'Nedra, a wilful princess who refuses to accept that sorcery even exists - let alone any silly prophecy.

Yet both must understand and accept their heritage as they follow the magician's trail to a sinister mountain fortress . . .

MAGICIAN'S GAMBIT is the third book in a magnificent fantasy epic set against a history of seven thousand years of struggles between Gods and Kings and men.

'Fun, exciting, intriguing fantasy ... immerse yourself and enjoy!' Darren Shan
