The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Le Guin brings and end to the tale of the Archmage Ged wrapping the Earthsea trilogy in quiet finality. Magic fades, and with it, the Archmage himself passes into legend – diminished, yet fulfilled. There’s sorrow in his end, a sense of something beautiful vanishing into the lines of the horizon. The sea stretches on, but Ged’s voyage ends here, in silence, in shadow, in peace.
