Darkness threatens to overtake Earthsea. As the world and its wizards are losing their magic, Ged -- powerful Archmage, wizard, and dragonlord -- embarks on a sailing journey with highborn young prince, Arren. They travel far beyond the realm of death to discover the cause of these evil disturbances and to restore magic to a land desperately thirsty for it.

Lesser but Good Tone

I found this book a lot harder to pay attention to than the first or second. However, just like "Atuan", the climax was absolutely riveting. An excellent meditation on mortality and immortality and what it means to be alive while the world changes. So, even though I didn't absorb it quite as well, I enjoyed listening to it.
