The Tombs of Atuan is a sacred temple on one of the islands of the Kargad Empire. The Kargad people are unlike the rest of the inhabitants of Earthsea: they are white-skinned barbarians who do not believe in wizards and are unaware of the existence of true names. At only six years old, Tenar receives the honors of a goddess; heir to an ancestral lineage, she will reign as the High Priestess at the Tombs of Atuan. But what real power will she have? She rules over darkness and fear. Tenar must discover what it means to exercise the power of freedom of choice. Her decision will be an opportunity to be free and, at the same time, can change the destiny of all of Earthsea.
