In the land of Earthsea, crops are failing and livestock dying.\nTwo dragons appear from the storm clouds and devour each other – an\nomen of impending disaster. The balance of the world is in peril of\ntearing apart.

\n

In his search for the cause of this encroaching catastrophe, the\nArchmage Ged, the greatest of wizards, meets Arren, exiled Prince\nof Enlad, in flight from a nameless Shadow. They journey through\nruined landscapes to Hort Town – a city where blank citizens deal\nonly in fake goods, slaves are traded and addicts wander the\ndangerous streets – and cross paths with Therru, an orphan girl\nwith a fire-scarred face. Ged learns that the wizard Cob, in his\nsearch for eternal life, is preparing to open the door between the\nrealms of the living and the dead. An old and defeated adversary,\nCob has sworn to take terrible revenge on Ged.
