The Land of Dhrall, which is shared by the gods with its people, is overshadowed by Wasteland ruler Vlagh, who plans to take advantage of a shift in power and take over the world unless four children are able to counter his intentions.

The Vlagh, an insectile arch enemy, has discovered a way to infiltrate and corrupt the human tribes, and worse still, the Gods can no longer be trusted.

She soars above a world of warriors, kings, and priests. The daughter of Belgarath and the shape-shifter Poledra, she has fought wars, plotted palace coups, and worked her powerful magic for three thousand years. Now, Polgara looks back at her magnificent life, in this fitting crown jewel to the saga that is the Eddings' Belgariad and Mallorean cycles. Her hair streaked white by her father's first touch, her mind guided by a mother she will not see...

From "New York Times" bestselling authors David and Leigh Eddings comes a supernatural tale of grief and mystery, life and death, ghosts and shadows, set in the contemporary world.

An epic that introduces two generations of living Gods...and the impending doom that threatens them.

Contains photographs and descriptions of a variety of extreme sports, including bungee jumping, mountain biking, snowboarding, and others; and provides information on clothing and equipment, safety, tricks and techniques, and venues.
