Meanwhile, the characters Tenar and Ged from the earlier books return, though both are growing older--Tenar is the mother of Spark and Apple, and Ged--now a goatherd--has lost his magic.

It's up to Death's granddaughter Susan, Lu-Tze (a Monk of History, dedicated to maintaining the fabric of time), and his curiously talented novice, Lobsang Ludd, to destroy the clock and save the universe.
