When young Tenar is chosen as high priestess to the ancient and nameless Powers of the Earth, everything is taken away - home, family, possessions, even her name. For she is now Arha, the Eaten One, guardian of the ominous Tombs of Atuan.
While she is learning her way through the dark labyrinth, a young wizard, Ged, comes to steal the Tombs' greatest hidden treasure, the Ring of Erreth-Akbe. But Ged also brings with him the light of magic, and together, he and Tenar escape from the darkness that has become her domain.
Una novela oscura, de madurez, de descubrimiento... Aporta por sí misma, pero creo que tendrá más sentido desde la perspectiva de la saga de terramar.
Quite a reading. A fantasy book written in 1969 by a woman with a woman as a protagonist and that exposes different kinds of power: the "power to" and the "power over".
Worth a read especially with the author's afterword almost 50 years later.
