Classic fantasy in the style of Le Guin's EARTHSEA
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Classic fantasy, reminiscent of Le Guin's Earthsea trilogy but uniquely Schweitzer's own, as a prince tries to rescue his beloved from the God of Death. Highly recommended.Fabian's cover and illustrations are amazing.
