Notes
- First book to credit Leigh Eddings as co-author on the original edition. Narrative frame is a post-Malloreon memoir; internal chronology reflects the in-world event order (~7,000 years of backstory), which is chronologically first despite its 1995 publication date.
- From the series record (Belgariad Prequels): Two prequels; chronologically precede The Belgariad despite being published after The Malloreon.
Neighbouring works
Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.

- Internal chronology, within Belgariad Universe: position 1 of 12: next Polgara the Sorceress (1997)
