A Wizard of Earthsea

by Ursula K. Le Guin
A Wizard of Earthsea
A Wizard of Earthsea

Coming-of-age journey in a magical archipelago.

If the idea of a magical realm steeped in rich lore and elemental wizardry excites you, then "A Wizard of Earthsea" beckons. Ursula K. Le Guin weaves the tale of Sparrowhawk with such profound depth and simplicity that it becomes more than a fantasy—it's a meditation on growth, responsibility, and the power within. This classic might just stir something ancient and knowing inside you, as if you, too, could ride the winds of Earthsea.
