A superb four-part fantasy, comparable with the work of Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, the "Earthsea" books follow the fortunes of the wizard Ged from his childhood to an age where magic is giving way to evil.

But as the years pass, true magic and ancient ways are forced to submit to the powers of evil and death.
