Tenar is the Priestess reborn. As such, she has had to serve the Old Powers of the Earth since she was five. She has resigned herself to the fact that darkness was her safety blanket, and her gods true. But then she unexpectedly meets with a stranger where no stranger should be. A man, nonetheless. A sorcerer, even. A dragonlord who turns her against everything she had ever believed. 
 The Tombs of Atuan is the second book in the Earthsea saga, and I liked it much better than the first. Perhaps because this story was heroin-centred, because Ged didn't appear so much... I don't know... maybe I was in the mood for something darker and more serious... 
 Oh yeah, too descriptive and confusing at times...
