Fantasy Novel by Ursula K. LeGuin, the second novel in her Earthsea Trilogy1. * * * * *

Arha has no true name. It has been eaten in the process of becoming High Priestess of the nameless Powers of the Earth in the tombs on the island of Atuan, part of The Kargad Lands.

Tossed about by the machinations and politics of the other priestesses (of lesser gods with actual names), the young priestess's refuge is the domain given her, the labyrinth of the Tombs itself.

Then one day, someone gets trapped in her lair.

1The first is A Wizard of Earthsea and the third is The Farthest Shore.
