Tehanu, the fourth book in Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea cycle, returns to the world years after the events of *The Farthest Shore*. Ged, now stripped of his magic, lives a quiet life tending to the orphan Therru, a young girl scarred by terrible abuse. Their peaceful existence is disrupted by a series of unsettling events that force them to confront the darker aspects of Earthsea's society. The novel explores themes of healing, power, and the roles of women in a patriarchal world, challenging the traditional heroic narratives of the earlier Earthsea books. Tehanu is a powerful and moving story about resilience, compassion, and the quiet strength found in unexpected places.
