Queen of sorcery by David Eddings. 

The entire series is called “the Belgariad”.

I read the Belgariad hoping it was a different series I read when I had this random roommate in college who would read fantasy while duecing so I just did the same. Can’t find that series though; the Belgariad was great just not what I was seeking haha.
