Today, Ged is the greatest mage of Earthsea, but in his youth, he recklessly hungered for power and knowledge. By stepping onto a path that seemed the shortest and easiest, the young man touched an ancient mystery, and through his fault, a great evil entered the world. To undo what he had done, he had to walk a different path—one that would last a lifetime. Risking everything at every step, he had to overcome unimaginable obstacles, change beyond recognition, understand his destiny, and face the black shadow in a decisive duel. The "Earthsea Cycle" brought its author world fame, and it now stands alongside such fantasy masterpieces as J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and C.S. Lewis's "Narnia."
