THE HIDDEN CITY
David Eddings was born in Washington State and grew up near Seattle. He graduated from the University of Washington and went on to serve in the United States Army. Subsequently, he worked as a buyer for the Boeing Company, and taught college-level English. His first novel,
High Hunt,
was a contemporary adventure story, but he soon began a spectacular career as a fantasy writer with his best-selling series
The Belgariad.
He consolidated his immediate success with three further enormously popular series,
The Malloreon, The Elenium
and
The Tamuli.
Writing with his wife Leigh, three final volumes rounded off the Belgariad:
Belgarath the Sorcerer, Polgara the Sorceress
and
The Rivan Codex.
These were followed by the epic standalone fantasy
The Redemption of Althalus,
and his latest series of books,
The Dreamers.
