Earthsea

Ged, the greatest sorcerer in all Earthsea, was called Sparrowhawk in his reckless youth.

Hungry for power and knowledge, Sparrowhawk tampered with long-held secrets and loosed a terrible shadow upon the world. This is the tale of his testing, how he mastered the mighty words of power, tamed an ancient dragon, and crossed death's threshold to restore the balance.

In Atuan, a little girl - Tenar, was chosen at birth to assume the role of One Priestess of the Tombs of Atuan where the ancient Nameless Ones are said to dwell. Her days are all the same, spent learning the endless rites and lore important to her position.
