The Farthest Shore, the third and most epic installment of Ursula K. Le Guin's celebrated Earthsea Cycle, chronicles the perilous journey of the Archmage Ged and the young Prince Arren as they sail to the edge of the known world to confront a nameless evil that is draining magic from the land, leaving sorcerers mute and people without hope or purpose.\n\nLe Guin writes with a quiet, mythic authority that transforms high fantasy into profound philosophical inquiry, examining mortality, sacrifice, and the irreversible cost of immortality's temptation. Winner of the National Book Award for Children's Books in 1973, this novel stands as one of the towering achievements of twentieth-century fantasy literature, suffused with the author's characteristic moral gravity and luminous prose. For those willing to sail beyond the farthest shore, what awaits is not merely an adventure — but a reckoning with the deepest questions of what it means to be alive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50736108110043,"sku":"2026100010500-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/adc5fd0b-6273-4484-a33e-eee6c8d8d65c.png?v=1792122421","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010500-secondhand-the-farthest-shore","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
