Belgarath, Garion, Polgara,
Durnik, Barak, Silk and Relg now have the Orb of Aldur, and have been
joined Ariana, a slave of the Murgos. Ariana's main purpose seems to
be taunting Relg, who is constantly hounded by his impure thoughts that
he considers a sin. They pick up Ce'Nedra and continue toward the Isle
of the Winds.
Garion finally understands his destiny, but fears stepping
into the shoes that he knows he must. And after he does, he realizes
that this is not what he wanted. Then he finds out the truth about the
prophecy and that he must face the one-eyed God, Torak in a battle he
fears that he cannot win and won't survive. After all, he is just a
young man whose powers he does not understand or cannot control
effectively.
Castle of Wizardry is the fourth book in
the five book series The Belgarion. This is a fantasy tale about
Belgarath, a 7,000 year old Sorcerer, his daughter Polgara, a Sorceress,
and Garion, who will someday fulfill the role of an ancient prophecy.
Garion finally realizes his role in the West in this book, but is not
necessarily happy with the outcome. But he realizes that he has no
choice, in that it was declared 3000 years ago what he would do, but not
how it would end. And Ce'Nedra also realizes that she must stand in
for Garion in his absence and lead an army to stop the army of Cythos
Murgos from invading the rest of the West.
