Suite du diptyque consacré à la plus grande sorcière de toute la Fantasy : Polgara.
Pol est arrivée trop tard dans l'Ile des Vents où agonisent Gorek et sa famille, massacrés par des traîtres. Seul a survécu le petit prince Geran, dont naîtra, bien plus tard, l'Enfant de Lumière. C'est à Pol qu'incombe la tâche de cacher l'enfant et de l'instruire.Les générations passent. Polgara aide ses protégés à choisir leurs épouses, assiste à la naissance de leurs héritiers et les voit mourir l'un après l'autre. Elle-même ne vit pas impunément les milliers d'années qui lui sont promises. Mais tout se met en place, peu à peu, pour préparer la venue de Garion, l'Enfant de Lumière.Tarak, l'Enfant des Ténèbres, sort enfin de sa réclusion décidé à donner naissance à une nouvelle race de Dieux. Il a même choisi une épouse : Polgara. Son programme : la conquérir et anéantir la lignée de Riva. Tous les protagonistes de la " Belgariade " entrent en scène successivement, vus par le regard savoureux et acéré de Polgara.

About the author
David Eddings
220 books5,568 followersDavid Eddings was an American author who wrote several best-selling series of epic fantasy novels. David Eddings' wife,
Leigh Eddings
, was an uncredited co-author on many of his early books, but he had later acknowledged that she contributed to them all.
They adopted one boy in 1966, Scott David, then two months old. They adopted a younger girl between 1966 and 1969. In 1970 the couple lost custody of both children and were each sentenced to a year in jail in separate trials after pleading guilty to 11 counts of physical child abuse. Though the nature of the abuse, the trial, and the sentencing were all extensively reported in South Dakota newspapers at the time, these details did not resurface in media coverage of the couple during their successful joint career as authors, only returning to public attention several years after both had died.
After both served their sentences, David and Leigh Eddings moved to Denver in 1971, where David found work in a grocery store.
David Eddings' first books (which were general fiction) sold moderately well. He later switched to writing epic fantasy, a field in which he achieved great success. In a recent interview with sffworld.com, he said: "I don't take orders from readers."
On January 26, 2007 it was reported that Eddings accidentally burned about a quarter of his office, next door to his house, along with his Excalibur sports car, and the original manuscripts for most of his novels. He was flushing the fuel tank of the car with water when he lit a piece of paper and threw into the puddle to test if it was still flammable.
On February 28, 2007, David Eddings' wife, Leigh Eddings (born Judith Leigh Schall), died following a series of strokes. She was 69.
David Eddings died on June 2, 2009 at the age of 77.

One of the worst books I've ever read.

Un second tome que j'ai plus apprécié que le premier. Avec Polgara qui protège la lignée de Riva, on retrouve un côté plus personnel, chose qui m'avait manqué. Bien sûr il y a des répétitions avec l'histoire de Belgarath, mais toujours en apportant des éléments nouveaux. J'avoue avoir parfois eu la larme à l'oeil et même si j'aurais aimé plus de détails sur la vue à la ferme de Faldor (surtout sur ses sentiments pour Durnik), on a ici une belle conclusion à une excellente saga.

Good read, the story from the point of view of Polgara is very interesting.
Love the 2 versions of the story from Polgara & Belgarath, and seeing how and where the character (of the sequel) come from add a new dimension to the sequel.
