A Wizard of Earthsea
Book 1 of the Earthsea Cycle series
Gifted and proud, the boy Ged leaves his island home to train as a wizard on Roke. An attempt to prove his power releases a shadow that hunts him across the archipelago. Ged's pursuit of mastery becomes a journey toward recognizing the darkness as part of himself rather than merely an outside enemy. Spare and mythic, this coming-of-age fantasy belongs beside a fire for readers who enjoy island voyages, disciplined magic, moral consequence, and hard-won self-knowledge.
