About the book

In Ursula K. Le Guin's The Tombs of Atuan, a girl is taken from her family and given the name Arha, the Eaten One, as the chosen servant of ancient powers. Her life is confined by ritual, duty and the dark labyrinth beneath the tombs. When the wizard Ged enters this forbidden world, the encounter unsettles the certainty on which her authority depends. The second Earthsea novel approaches fantasy through questions of identity, trust and freedom, asking what it might mean to choose a life beyond the role others have imposed.
