Set in the fantasy world archipelago of Earthsea depicting the adventures of a budding young wizard named Ged. Duny (renamed Ged later) is a young boy from Gont, one of the larger islands which dot Earthsea. His mother being dead, his father a dour, taciturn bronze-smith, and his much older siblings having already left home, he grows up alone, headstrong and wild. The boy discovers he has a strong innate affinity for magic. His aunt, the village witch, teaches him the little she herself knows, but his power far exceeds hers.
