This is the second book in the Earthsea Cycle. It's a standalone novel, though Sparrowhawk from "A Wizard of Earthsea" is a major character. Again, it's beautifully written, and this time, there's a female protagonist. It again has a theme of good versus evil, but it is subtler in this book. LeGuin writes subtle very well. The book is short, the prose is tight and the characterization is really good.
