This month, our patrons are sending us back to Earthsea after many many years. We’re taking a look at Ursula LeGuin’s sequel novel: The Tombs of Atuan.
Here’s the summary:
When young Tenar is chosen as high priestess to the ancient and nameless Powers of the Earth, everything is taken away – home, family, possessions, even her name. For she is now Arha, the Eaten One, guardian of the ominous Tombs of Atuan.
While she is learning her way through the dark labyrinth, a young wizard, Ged, comes to steal the Tombs’ greatest hidden treasure, the Ring of Erreth-Akbe. But Ged also brings with him the light of magic, and together, he and Tenar escape from the darkness that has become her domain.
The live-streamed discussion of The Tombs of Atuan will occur Friday, May 5th at 9:30 PM Central Time over on our YouTube page. We’ll see you there!
