Synopsis

The aging widow Tenar takes in both the broken Archmage Sparrowhawk, stripped of his wizard powers, and a young girl horribly burned and abandoned by her abusive father. In this Nebula Award-winning fourth Earthsea novel, Le Guin turns from epic quests to explore the quiet power of ordinary life, the oppression of women in a patriarchal society, and the true nature of strength.
