Crafts and Life

The wizard Alder comes from Roke to the island of Gont in search of the Archmage, Lord Sparrowhawk, once known as Ged. The man who was once the most powerful wizard in the Islands now lives with his wife Tenar and their adopted daughter Tehanu. Alder needs help: his beloved wife died and in his dreams she calls him to the land of the dead – and now the dead are haunting him, begging for release. He can no longer sleep, and the Wizards of Earthsea are worried.
But there is more at stake than the unquiet rest of one minor wizard: for the dragons of Earthsea have arisen, to reclaim the lands that were once theirs. Only Tehanu, herself daughter of a dragon, can talk to them; it may be that Alder's dreams hold the key to the salvation of Earthsea and all the peoples who live there.

Ged is currently on his own, as Tenar and Tehanu have gone to Havnor at the request of Lebannen the new King, when Alder comes begging for help, he has been to Roke Island and they suggested Sparrowhark may be able to ease his dreams of The Dry Lands (the place where the dead are trapped).  Although he can't help directly he writes to Lebannen and sends Alder, a grey kitten (who seems to be able to keep the dreams at bay) and the letter to the king.

From this point on the circle starts to close with everything coming to it's rightful end and we have a lot of the characters from the books and novella's coming together to save Earthsea and save Mankind and Dragonkind.

This I believe will be the last Earthsea book and I am wondering what took me so long to read them!
