Darkness threatens to overtake Earthsea. As the world and its wizards are losing their magic, Ged -- powerful Archmage, wizard, and dragonlord -- embarks on a sailing journey with highborn young prince, Arren. They travel far beyond the realm of death to discover the cause of these evil disturbances and to restore magic to a land desperately thirsty for it.

This book has a strong message about the necessity of death, imagining what happens when immortality is possible.

I liked this one less than the first two. Like them, it's a coming-of-age story, but it has elements of the prophesied chosen one pattern that I dislike in fantasy novels.
