It is a time of growing evil and the perversion of magic. Power hangs in the balance, and uncertainty and fear are widespread, as magi and king alike seek a woman of Gont to show them the way forward. Tenar, erstwhile Priestess of Atuan, cares for Therru, a young girl who has been abused.

Review
Ursula K. LeGuin follows her classic trilogy from Earthsea with a magical tale that won the 1991 Nebula Award for Science Fiction. Unlike the tales in the trilogy, this novel is short and concise, yet it is by no means simplistic. Promoted as a children's book because of the awards garnered in that category by her previous work, Tehanu transcends classification and shows the wizardry of female magic. The story involves a middle-age widow who sets out to visit her dying mentor and eventually cares for his favorite student.
