- Book Club: A Wizard of EarthseaThe Fourth Place: Games, Comics, & Geek Culture, Hanover, NH
Our July Book Club selection is the foundational fantasy novel A Wizard of Earthsea, the beginning of Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea Cycle
Ged was the greatest wizard in Earthsea, but in his youth he was the reckless Sparrowhawk. In his hunger for power and knowledge, he tampered with long-held secrets and loosed a terrible shadow upon the world. This is the tumultuous tale of his testing, how he mastered the mighty words of power, tamed an ancient dragon, and crossed death's threshold to restore the balance.
