In 'The Tombs of Atuan', young Tenar is chosen as high priestess to the ancient Powers of the Earth, stripping her of everything: home, family, possessions, and even her name, now known as Arha, the Eaten One, guardian of the labyrinthine Tombs of Atuan, shrouded in darkness. When the young wizard Ged Sparrowhawk comes to steal the Tombs' greatest hidden treasure, the Ring of Erreth-Akbe, Tenar must protect the Tombs. However, Ged brings with him the light of magic and tales of a brighter world Tenar has never known. Will Tenar risk everything to escape the darkness that has become her domain? This is the second novel in Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea Cycle.
