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.

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.
