On his way to steal The Book from the House at the End of the World, Althalus collides with Dweia, a seductive goddess in the form of a cat who can manipulate time. Unfortunately, her evil brother shares her talent, and has been using his own dark magic to rewrite history. The only people who can stop him are Althalus and a ragtag group of men, women, and children. But they have no reason to trust Althalus--or each other. Accelerated Reader: Reading Level 5.7, 41 Points.
David and Leigh Eddings were mythmakers and world builders of the first order. With The Redemption of Althalus, the authors of the Belgariad and Malloreon sagas created a thrilling stand-alone epic-boldly written and brilliantly imagined. 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. Praise for The Redemption of Althalus "Highly recommended . . . Featuring a cast of engaging characters, some fanciful plot twists, and a light-hearted atmosphere that should appeal strongly to fans and first-time readers alike."-Library Journal "The story takes off. The interactions between characters, straightforward plotting, and doses of wry humor keep the tale humming."-Booklist "An engaging young reprobate hero . . . [A] magical realm of good-natured fun."-Publishers Weekly "A compelling, involving story."-Science Fiction Chronicle
