Now the first three books in this monumental epic appear in a single volume. Here, long-time fans can rediscover the wonder—and the uninitiated can embark upon a thrilling new journey of fantasy and adventure. It all begins with the theft of the Orb that for so long protected the West from an evil god. As long as the Orb was at Riva, the prophecy went, its people would be safe from this corrupting power. Garion, a simple farm boy, is familiar with the legend of the Orb, but skeptical in matters of magic. Until, through a twist of fate, he learns not only that the story of the Orb is true, but that he must set out on a quest of unparalleled magic and danger to help recover it. For Garion is a child of destiny, and fate itself is leading him far from his home, sweeping him irrevocably toward a distant tower—and a cataclysmic confrontation with a master of the darkest magic. Review: Character Development is Key - I grew up on these books as a teenager and have re-read them several times. They are some of my favorites in addition to the Terry Brooks books. They are a great escape from the day-to-day world that takes you into fantasy and adventure. Above all, however, I really like the way subtle sarcasm and humor are strewn throughout. The characters are all very unique in their own way which adds enjoyment to the plot and character interactions. I was also impressed with the way these books integrate into the other stories of Polgara's and Belgarath's backgrounds. The history of those two books is a great read to even better understand their character backgrounds. I noticed several people comment negatively on the binding of this book. I had seen it in the book stores and got it for that very reason. I prefer a more loose binding with thinner/lighter pages versus the often stiff pages of a paperback (where I inevitably break the binding because it's so stiff). It also allows for all three books to be included in one small novel. One of the things I like especially about these books is that they're relatively "clean." There is no sexual content other than very mild or innocent (and often humorous) innuendos but nothing that would be considered inappropriate. Battle scenes are also described only generally and not in an overly gruesome or graphic way. Because of that, I'm able to give them to my kids to read and enjoy the characters and plot as much as I did as a teenager. I definitely couldn't do that with a George R.R. Martin book. I think the general themes of good vs. evil, loyalty to family and friends, doing the right thing, dealing with trials and tragedy, etc. are all strewn throughout these books which gives it somewhat of a human quality that I find appealing. I enjoy the Elenium and Tamuli series by Eddings as well, but not as much as the Belgariad and Mallorean series. Review: Wonderful start to an amazing journey! - David Eddings and his wife have dreamt up a wonderful world here that I and my children visit frequently in this and the nine remaining books that follow the lives of a cluster of wonderful and varied people becoming richer and more detailed as they go, building up the world and it's many colorful varied races of men! They masterfully weave history and present, solid reality and practicality along with sorcery and witchcraft in this "classic" good vs evil story. They move beyond the "norm" tho giving us ample understanding of peoples on BOTH sides so well that you, as the reader, really care that the central characters can prevail in their tasks thereby preventing world war! And a world war is horrific enough without adding some pretty powerful magic as well on both sides! Intricate plots inside plots that unfold over the course of the series so completely that as sad as I am every time I finish it and have to say goodbye to the characters again at least the story feels well and truly finished as far as the wondering what might happen to these many people you've come to abhor, or care deeply for! So completely and well written we even come to care about some characters that we start out fearing and abhoring! :-D Clever, moving, funny, terrible, fascinating, insightful, complex, ugly and beautiful, silly and wise...Eddings plumbs the depths of humanity for this epic and I can't say enough in praise of his humbly offered stories! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #137,085 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,531 in Sword & Sorcery Fantasy (Books) #3,523 in Action & Adventure Fantasy (Books) #5,509 in Epic Fantasy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 935 Reviews | ## Images ![The Belgariad, Vol. 1 (Books 1-3): Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, Magician's Gambit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BI-HVZv3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Character Development is Key *by A***R on December 16, 2018* I grew up on these books as a teenager and have re-read them several times.

Those books are "Pawn of Prophecy", "Queen of Sorcery" and "Magician's Gambit", and I can sincerely said that they are excellent, so good that I still enjoy them even though I first read the series more than 12 years ago. "The Belgariad" brings a strange world to the readers, a world where magic is a reality that is accepted, even if it isn't overly common. Eddings somehow managed to bring to life a whole world, with different countries and plenty of political intrigue, as well as deities that take a close interest in mundane affairs. The main character is Garion, a very level-headed young orphan who will suddenly find himself in the midst of action when a magical stone, the Orb, is stolen. Strangely enough, our very common teenager will involuntarily become involved in a quest to retrieve it, along with his Aunt Pol, a storyteller and some very interesting characters from diverse parts of the world. The fact is, the retrieval of the Orb involves very ancient prophecies that must be fulfilled, and Garion and his companions are part of it all. Garion will discover that his Aunt Pol is no other than Polgara the sorceress, and that the old man who from time to time drops by and tells him stories is both his grandfather and Belgarath the sorcerer. Garion will be eager to know more, specially what he is supposed to do in the grand scheme of things. Despite that, nobody tells him a thing, the excuse being that he will learn everything when it is time to do so. All in all, I can tell you that I am still thankful that this series caught my eye many years ago. "The Belgariad" is pretty popular in USA, but that isn't the case in Argentina, and I could have overlooked it. Fortunately that wasn't the case, and due to that I am in the position to highly recommend "The Belgariad" to you, knowing very well what I am saying. Please take into account that "The Belgariad, Vol. 1" only includes the first three books in the series, so you will do well to buy it at the same time than "The Belgariad, Vol. 2", that compiles the last two books. That is likely to save you time, because as soon as you finish the first volume you will be so full of curiosity regarding the rest of the story that you will probably run to a nearby bookstore to purchase the rest of the series, if you hadn't already done so. That having been said, happy reading :) Belen Alcat ## Frequently Bought Together - The Belgariad, Vol. 1 (Books 1-3): Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, Magician's Gambit - The Belgariad, Vol. 2 (Books 4 & 5): Castle of Wizardry, Enchanters' End Game - The Tamuli: Domes of Fire - The Shining Ones - The Hidden City --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/11517961-the-belgariad-vol-1-books-1-3-pawn-of-prophecy](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/11517961-the-belgariad-vol-1-books-1-3-pawn-of-prophecy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
