Which is more important, to do what you long for or to live in balance with the Right? Can life exist without death? When a Prince is sent to warn the Archmage Ged that magic, hope, and life are draining from the world, the two must sail to confront the unknown. I don't agree with all of Ursula LeGuin's ying yangey themes, but she beautifully portrays the need to respect human beings, to love their excellence and try to redeem them from the gutter of existence.
