Description
Across the archipelago of Earthsea, magic is more than spectacle—it is a living language of names, consequences, and cosmic balance. These tales revisit and extend the world first introduced in the classic coming-of-age story of a young wizard, following lives shaped by power, love, and the long shadows cast by fear and desire. With Le Guin’s lyrical, Taoist-tinged sensibility, the collection explores how identity is forged through self-knowledge, and how the forces of light and dark must be held in equilibrium rather than conquered. Part legend, part history, and part mythic inquiry, these stories deepen Earthsea’s cultures, languages, and lore while inviting readers to confront the darkness within.
