When the world was young and Gods still walked among their mortal children, a headstrong orphan boy set out to explore the world.

Then came the dark day when the Dark God Torak split the world asunder, and the God Aldur and his disciples began their monumental labor to set Destiny aright. Foremost among their number was Belgarath.

I really enjoyed these suplimental books that filled in a lot of the back story that was only hinted at or briefly told in the other novels. But they are not really stand alones and don't make a lot of sense unless you have read the 10 book epic.

Absolutely fantastic for those already smitten by Edding's Belgariad and Mallorean, though perhaps a bit meaningless without them as many in jokes and other references are made throughout the novel. However do not let this stop you, just read the other series' first.
