A series by David Eddings (fantasy) that my Aussie bookcrossing pal started me on. She sent me Pawn of Prophecy -- then I read the rest of them (Queen of Sorcery; Magician's Gambit; Castle of Wizardry; Enchanter's End Game) in that series, plus a couple of "stand alone" books (Belgarath the Sorcerer; Polgara the Sorceress). A fun series, although not all that original. A boy grows up an orphan, not knowing who he really is, and turns out to be the descendant of kings, destined to finally kill the evil god Torak. He has help - his Aunt Pol, who is actually Polgara the Sorceress, and her father, Belgarath the Sorcerer. There are also many members of the company that searches for the magical orb so he can return it to the hilt of the ancient sword that is destined to slay Torak.
Good characters, a light read but nothing we haven't seen in many other fantasy quest books.
