Tales from Earthsea
“Once Man and Dragon were one. Man chose Land and Sea, Dragon chose Wind and Fire.”
As crops dwindle and dragons reappear, mankind stands on the verge of total chaos. Lord Archmage Sparrowhawk, a powerful wizard, and Arren, a troubled young prince, search for the force behind this mysterious imbalance that threatens to destroy the land of Earthsea.
