Book One of the classic ELENIUM series.

After a long exile, Pandion Knight Sparhawk returns to his native land to find his young queen grievously ill.

Ehlana has been poisoned and will die unless a cure can be found within a year. The life force of twelve of her sworn knights is all that sustains her; but one knight will be lost within the passing of each month if the antidote isn’t found.

To save his queen, his comrades, and the stability of the kingdom, Sparhawk begins the search for the cure, only to discover a greater and more pervasive evil than he could ever have imagined.

David Eddings (1931-2009) published his first novel, High Hunt, in 1973, before turning to the field of fantasy with the Belgariad, soon followed by the Malloreon. Born in Spokane, Washington, and raised in the Puget Sound area north of Seattle, he received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Reed College in Portland, Oregon, in 1954, and a master of arts degree from the University of Washington in 1961. He served in the US Army, worked as a buyer for the Boeing Company, and was both a grocery clerk and a college English teacher. He lived in Nevada until his death, at the age of 77.

If you want to put people off reading Fantasy this is the book for you

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 August 2019

Truly terrible! badly written like a teenagers crap essay and It's warped sense of riotousness makes me worry for anyone who knows the writer. Women described as whores and apparently it's fine to be temped by young girls when married, "everybody is tempted". this is just the tip of the iceberg. Avoid!!

Up and coming writers should read some of David Eddings books to see how a true master builds a storyline and the people within the story. The first instalment of this trilogy set the scene for book two, it was hard to try and put the book down as there seemed a natural pause . It is sometime since I have read David Eddings books but I am looking forward to the next chapter in this story line. Fantastic Reading

The Diamond Throne by David Eddings
Sometimes it’s hard to step out of the shadows of the older brother and be recognised for your own worth, and this book does that. The first time I read this was when it was first released, and perhaps I was still too closely attached to the big brother, The Belgarion series’ to be able to see just how good this book was.
Re-reading it after many years away gives me a new perspective, however, and I am really glad that I bought it. It’s an excellent read.
David Eddings is a wonderful writer, with well-rounded characters, good plots, excellent dialogue, plenty of action and a good splattering of humour. This book is no exception to the recipe that made him one of the best ever fantasy authors. I couldn’t put the book down, and have no hesitation about buying the next part of the series.

Have all David Eddings books in hard copies and have read them all numerous times, one of the best fantasy writers ever. If you love fantasy, and have never read this author give him a try ,you won't be sorry.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 June 2016

This is the first time I have read a book by David Eddings band I was quite impressed. I always stick to authors I know when it comes to fantasy novels so this was a nice surprise. The story is about a knight trying to save his Queen but it is far from predictable or boring.

I started reading a sample from Kindle and within a few pages, I was hooked. In fact, I finished the book in 3 days!

The characters are really well thought out and come alive as you read the book (despite the fact that you meet many characters in this book, you will remember each one individually). You get completely engrossed in their adventure, as if you are there with them - really very well written.

Highly recommend it to fantasy fans

Poor transfer

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 July 2014

Please be aware I am reviewing the KINDLE Edition.
I am a big fan of these stories. In my opinion his work waned after the Sparhawk set and he never topped The Belagariad.
However - UNLESS it has been updated - the transfer to Kindle is littered with errors. Not much fun at over a fiver a pop!
Great story - poor transfer.
Perhaps I should see if there is an update?
