Le Guin's Earthsea Cycle Darkness threatens to overtake Earthsea: the world and its wizards are losing their magic. Despite being wearied with age, Ged Sparrowhawk -- Archmage, wizard, and dragonlord -- embarks on a daring, treacherous journey, accompanied by Enlad's young Prince Arren, to discover the reasons behind this devastating pattern of loss. Together they will sail to the farthest reaches of their world -- even beyond the realm of death -- as they seek to restore magic to a land desperately thirsty for it. With millions of copies sold worldwide, Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea Cycle has earned a treasured place on the shelves of fantasy lovers everywhere, alongside the works of such beloved authors as J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Estimated Delivery Dates from Amazon or related-sellersI recently ordered 7 books from Amazon and its partner Warehouse Deals. The books were ordered May 22, the promised delivery date was June 4. It is June 24 and they have still not been received. This is not the first time books have been extremely late (over a month late) or not received at all. So if you need to get books within a certain time, don't order them here.

I cant decide which is my favorite The Farthest Shore or the Tombs of Atuan. Ged is the best. i would recommend this highly. Rating: - "I Do Not Mistake You for Any Finished Thing..."The third book in what is known as the "Earthsea Cycle," this installment takes place a number of years after "A Wizard of Earthsea" (in which the character Ged was a boy) and "The Tombs of Atuan" (in which he was a grown man). Now he is edging into late middle-age as the Archmage of the Wizards, and a much younger man has come to the island of Roke, seeking his aid. Arren is a young prince of the isle of Enlad, eager to serve and awe-struck at the great wizard Ged, but he comes with ...

THE FARTHEST SHORE is the third book in the Cycle. THE FARTHEST SHORE is the most ambitious of the first three books in the Cycle. Another quest novel, it touches on themes of life, death, power, authority, youth and maturation. In THE FARTHEST SHORE, Ged (now Archmage) and Lebannen, the young uncrowned King of Earthsea, are ...
