The Tombs of Atuan
Book 2 of the Earthsea Cycle series
Taken from her family as a child, Tenar is raised as the nameless priestess of ancient powers beneath the Tombs of Atuan. Her ordered, enclosed world changes when she discovers the wizard Ged trespassing in the labyrinth. Deciding whether to protect, use, or free him forces Tenar to question the identity others chose for her. Dark and intimate, this fantasy suits a quiet evening for readers drawn to underground settings, religious power, awakening conscience, and liberation that begins with reclaiming a name.
