These books are the first ones I ever read by David Eddings and are such favourites because they were with me through school – these old editions that I’ll be using for covers are the ones I was given by a family friend and are the right size for a blazer pocket.

For a while his dreams of innocence were safe, untroubled by knowledge of his strange heritage. So long as it lay at Riva, the prophecy went, men would be safe.īut that was only a story, and Garion did not believe in magic dooms, even though the dark man without a shadow had haunted him for years.
