"Le Guin is not only one of the purest stylists writing in English, but te most transcendently truthful of writers."
- The Nation

"A superb novel-length addition to the Earthsea universe, one that, once again, turns that entire series on his head.
  Alder, the man who unwittingly initiates the transformation of Earthsea, is a humble sorcerer who specializes in fixing broken pots and repairing fence lines, but when his beloved wife, Lily, dies, he is inconsolable.  He begins to dream of the land of the dead and sees both Lily and other shades reaching out to him across the low stone wall that separates them from the land of the living.  In her new novel, [Le Guin] reconsiders the relationship between magic and something even more basic: life and death itself."
- Publishers Weekly

Steeped in Earthsea lore and featuring familiar characters as well as dramatic action, the first full-length novel since Tehanu will leave its readers wanting yet another."  - Booklist

"One of the few writers I know who excels at both political fiction and epic fantasy.  She's brilliant at both."
- Salon.com

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
