一切纷乱均从失去力量的咒语发端……

巫师不识真言，无法操控力量；工匠抛弃技艺，歌者遗忘诗歌；人们恍惚度日，不求谋生，却苦寻不朽。地海大法师格得带著年轻热忱的英拉德王子亚刃，启程追寻邪恶的根源、乱象的症结，却不知前方有什么在等候他们。他们只能一径向边陲航行──从神秘未知的龙屿，到漂流民的海洋游群，再到一无活物的死域，zui终抵达无人涉足的极远彼岸。

在那彼岸，等待着他们的将是zui后的艰苦试炼……

Darkness threatens to overtake Earthsea. As the world and its wizards are losing their magic, Ged—powerful Archmage, wizard, and dragonlord—embarks on a sailing journey with highborn young prince, Arren. They travel far beyond the realm of death to discover the cause of these evil disturbances and to restore magic to a land desperately thirsty for it.

With millions of copies sold, Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea Cycle has earned a treasured place on the shelves of fantasy lovers everywhere. Complex, innovative, and deeply moral, this quintessential fantasy sequence has been compared with the work of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, and has helped make Le Guin one of the most distinguished fantasy and science fiction writers of all time.

厄休拉·勒古恩（Ursula Kroeber Le Guin，1929年10月21日－2018年1月22日），美国科幻、奇幻与女性主义与青少年儿童文学作家。著有小说20余部，以及诗集、散文集、游记、文学评论与多本童书。并与人合译老子《道德经》。所获文学奖与荣誉不计其数。她深受老子与人类学影响，作品常蕴含道家思想，写作手法流露民族志风格。

《地海》系列常与J·R·R·托尔金之《魔戒三部曲》或C·S·路易斯之《纳尼亚年代记》相提并论。

勒吉恩的小说zui有特色的是她对社会学与人类学的关怀。在勒吉恩的科幻作品中，她经常架空出一个相当真实但又与地球不相似的世界，与相当人性化的族群，并以这些完全迥异于地球的文化流畅地带出她的主题。

作者长于描写和议论，尤其善于心理描写，笔法深沉、大气、隽永、耐人回味。相信多读几遍，读者会对世界和人生有了新的思考。
