Synopsis

Sorcerer Alder is haunted by the dead, who call to him from the wall between the living and the land of the dry. Seeking help from Ged, the former Archmage, and the new king of Earthsea, Alder discovers that the wall between life and death is breaking down — and the living must make peace with the dead to heal the world.
