Mythmakers and world builders of the first order, the Eddingses spin
tales that make imaginations soar. Listeners have thrilled to The Belgariad
and The
Malloreon, magic-filled masterworks chronicling the timeless conflict
between good and evil. But with those sagas brought to their triumphant
conclusions,
fans were left hungry for more. Now at last the wait is over. With The
Redemption of Althalus, the Eddingses have created their first-ever
stand-alone
epic fantasy….

It would be sheer folly to try to conceal the true nature of Althalus,
for his flaws are the stuff of legend. He is, as all men know, a thief,
a liar, an
occasional murderer, an outrageous braggart, and a man devoid of even
the slightest hint of honor.

Yet of all the men in the world, it is Althalus, unrepentant rogue and
scoundrel, who will become the champion of humanity in its desperate
struggle against
the forces of an ancient god determined to return the universe to nothingness.
On his way to steal The Book from the House at the End of the World,
Althalus
is confronted by a cat – a cat with eyes like emeralds, the voice of
a woman, and the powers of a goddess. She is Dweia, sister to The Gods
and a greater
thief even than Althalus. She must be: for in no time at all, she has
stolen his heart. And more. She has stolen time itself. For when Althalus
leaves
the House at the End of the World, much wiser but not a day older than
when he’d first entered it, thousands of years have gone by.

But Dweia is not the only one able to manipulate time. Her evil brother
shares the power, and while Dweia has been teaching Althalus the secrets
of The
Book, the ancient God has been using the dark magic of his own Book
to rewrite history. Yet all is not lost. But only if Althalus, still
a thief at heart,
can bring together a ragtag group of men, women, and children with no
reason to trust him or each other. Boldly written and brilliantly imagined,
The Redemption
of Althalus is an epic fantasy to be savored in the listening and returned
to again and again for the wisdom, excitement, and humor that only the
Eddingses
can provide.
