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.

Tenar was taken from her home at the age of 5 as she is the High Priestess of the Nameless Ones reborn, at the age of 6 she goes through the rituals that make her High Priestess again, one of which is her name changing to Arha, the Eaten One.  From that time on nothing seems to change, the seasons turn she fulfills her role and then Sparrowhawk arrives and breaks into the underground Labyrinth – then everything changes and Arha needs to relearn herself as Tenar again.
