Annals of the Western Shore

A fantasy trilogy by Ursula K. Le Guin set on the Western Shore, a region apart from Earthsea. Each novel follows a different young protagonist in a different land: Gifts among the feuding Upland domains, Voices in the occupied city of Ansul, and Powers in the world of a slave with a remarkable memory. The books stand largely on their own, linked by place and by their concern with power, learning and freedom.
