'A masterpiece of chilling narration' GUARDIAN
'Wise, graceful, classic myth-making' THE SCOTSMAN
The wizard Alder comes from Roke to the island of Gont in search of the Archmage, Lord Sparrowhawk, once known as Ged. The man who was once the most powerful wizard in the Islands now lives with his wife Tenar and their adopted daughter Tehanu. Alder needs help: his beloved wife died and in his dreams she calls him to the land of the dead - and now the dead are haunting him, begging for release. He can no longer sleep, and the Wizards of Earthsea are worried.
But there is more at stake than the unquiet rest of one minor wizard: for the dragons of Earthsea have arisen, to reclaim the lands that were once theirs. Only Tehanu, herself daughter of a dragon, can talk to them; it may be that Alder's dreams hold the key to the salvation of Earthsea and all the peoples who live there.
Review: A masterpiece of chilling narration * GUARDIAN *
If you think you don't like fantasy, think again; Leguin's books simply give "reality" another shape -- Erica Wagner * THE TIMES *

THE OTHER WIND, a new Earthsea novel, felt like a homecoming to the magnificent otherworld that I escaped to at 14; wise, graceful, classic myth-making for all ages * THE SCOTSMAN *
The characters and fantasy world are all vividly drawn and the fascinating issues raised by the story are important and profound * NORTHERN ECHO *
