- Summary:
- "After the extraordinary success of the Earthsea novels, Ursula K. Le Guin returned in late career to the young adult fantasy genre with a trilogy of coming-of-age novels set in the far-flung Western Shore. These tales of teenagers struggling to come to terms with their own mysterious and magical gifts showcase the imaginative generosity and abiding human concerns that mark Le Guin's work, and together they form an elegant anthem to the transformative power of storytelling. This acclaimed trilogy is gathered here in one volume for the first time, complete with illustrated endpapers featuring newly colorized versions of Le Guin's own hand-drawn maps of her imagined world. This deluxe collector's edition includes Le Guin's talks and interviews about the novels, a chronology of her life and career, and helpful explanatory notes."-- Provided by publisher.
- Gifts: When a young man in the Uplands blinds himself rather than use his gift of "unmaking"--a violent talent shared by members of his family--he upsets the precarious balance of power among rival, feuding families, each of which has a strange and deadly talent of its own.
- Voices: Young Memer takes on a pivotal role in freeing her war-torn homeland from its oppressive captors.
- Powers: When young Gavir's sister is brutally killed, he escapes from slavery and sets out to explore the world and his own psychic abilities.
