In Machten van Aardzee maakt men kennis met de magische begaafde jongen Sperwer, die zich in zijn jeugdige overmoed te vroeg inlaat met duistere machten. Zijn jacht op de schaduw, die hem over de rotseilanden en zijn onbekende wateren van Aardzee voert, is tevens zijn groei naar volwassenheid en naar meesterschap over de 'grote kunst'. In De tomben van Atuan aanvaard Sperwer een zoektocht naar de Ring die vrede moet brengen en tracht de bron van het kwaad op te sporen.
