A tale of wizards, dragons and terrifying shadows.

The young wizard Sparrowhawk, tempted by pride to try spells beyond his powers, lets loose an evil shadow-beast in his land. Only he can destroy it, and this quest leads him to the farthest corner of Earthsea.

'This is an excellent book. If you like Harry Potter, magical books or dragons then this is the book for you. It is superbly written, it really conjures up an image in your mind. However, I would reccomend it to a fairly experienced reader as it is a fairly challenging read. x :)'
