The "Earthsea" volumes, a fantastic four-part fantasy that is on par with Tolkien and C.S. Lewis's works, trace the adventures of the wizard Ged from his early years to a time when magic is losing way to evil. Ged, whose real name is Sparrowhawk, is taken to the island of Roke as a young dragonlord in order to study the true ways of magic. Ged, a born magician, rises to the rank of Archmage and aids High Priestess Tenar in escaping the maze of darkness. However, genuine magic and antiquated practices eventually give way to the forces of evil and death.
