With \u003ci\u003eThe Redemption of Althalus\u003c\/i\u003e, the authors of the Belgariad and Malloreon sagas created a thrilling stand-alone epic—boldly written and brilliantly imagined.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Redemption of Althalus\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Highly recommended . . .
