First edition. 1973 National Book Award Winner! The third book in Le Guin's beloved Earthsea Cycle continuing the tale several decades after the events of the Newbery Honor winning The Tombs of Atuan, which had been published the previous year. The world and its wizards are losing their magic. But Ged Sparrohawk — Archmage, wizard, and dragonlord — is determined to discover the source of this devastating loss. Le Guin originally planned for this to be the final title in what she thought of as The Earthsea Trilogy, but reopened the series with Tehanueighteen years later.
