Summary

The Nebula and Locus Award–winning fourth novel in the renowned Earthsea series from Ursula K. Le Guin.

In this fourth novel in the Earthsea series, we rejoin the young priestess Tenar and powerful wizard Ged. Years before, they had helped each other at a time of darkness and danger. Together, they shared an adventure like no other. Tenar has since embraced the simple pleasures of an ordinary life, while Ged mourns the powers lost to him through no choice of his own.

Now the two must join forces again and help another in need—the physically, emotionally scarred child whose own destiny has yet to be revealed. …

"Le Guin's power is undiminished. She weaves contemporary concerns—the roles of men and women, the theft of resources from and the passage of power to the next generation—into a tale with the universality and dignity of legend."—Kirkus Reviews
