A Wizard of Earthsea (Ursula K. Le Guin) ; Puffin Books, 2016

The first book of Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin is a tale of wizards, dragons and terrifying shadows.

The island of Gont is a land famous for wizards. Of these, some say the greatest - and surely the greatest voyager - is the man called Sparrowhawk. As a reckless, awkward boy, he discovered the great power that was in him - with terrifying consequences. Tempted by pride to try spells beyond his means, Sparrowhawk lets loose an evil shadow-beast in his land. Only he can destroy it, and the quest leads him to the farthest corner of Earthsea.

Ged enters wizard school to learn the rules of magic. Headstrong and naive, he accidentally unleashes a terrible shadow-creature into the world. To correct the balance, he must face and destroy the shadow, whatever the cost. Ged's quest takes him to the farthest corner of Earthsea - a land of fearsome dragons, jealous wizards, darkness and light-where he will meet his destiny.
