Summary

Arha's isolated existence as high priestess in the tombs of Atuan is jarred by a thief who seeks a special treasure. 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
