For the end of the adventure beckoned and Tenar would be there along with the dragons, mages, and the young king himself to share in the unforgettable fate of the kingdom known as Earthsea. A dying wizard and an abused child were the first to call her back to the path she had abandoned.

But Tenar was not born to live her days in peace, away from great events. Then she gave it all up to be a farmer's wife on Gont, content to lead a simple life. Once she'd been a priestess, quest-companion to a powerful mage, a student of high magic. Now the fourth and final volume, Tehanu, brings to a conclusion the remarkable Earthsea cycle with a revelation of wisdom, wonder, and literary wizardry. Lewis' Narnia stories as being among the genre's greatest creations. Le Guin's three previous Earthsea novels- A Wizard Of Earthsea, The Tombs Of Atuan, and The Farthest Shore-have been compared with J.R.R.
