劇情提要
在地海世界,一個充滿著島嶼、海洋、魔法的奇幻世界,萬物皆有真名。而當知曉了某物/人之真名,便能成為其主人。
少年雀鷹(Sparrowhawk)是弓忒島上的牧羊童,天生擁有強大的法力天賦,由於渴望智識法藝更上層樓,而在授與他真名格得(Ged)的師傅歐吉安推薦下,前往柔克島的巫師學院,學習更高深的魔法知識。他因才華出眾而在學院裏備受矚目,但也因心高氣傲而鑄下大錯:某日,格得為同儕所激,挑戰觸犯禁忌的祕術,召喚亡靈,卻遭到未知的黑影襲擊,幾乎喪命。
在休養康復之後,格得完成學院學業,領受巫杖,前往擔任九十嶼群島的守護巫師,並且擊敗蟠多之龍完成任務。然而黑影的威脅仍在——這來自無名之地的無形怪物渴望侵奪格得的身體。格得在恐懼之下逃離,卻又誤入陷阱,在北方的甌司可島險些成為黑暗太古力的奴僕,最後他變換身形成為旅鷹,飛翔回到弓忒島。在那兒,歐吉安給了他一個建議:「轉身」。格得理解到,逃亡漫無目標、操之在人,並又無法解決問題,他應當主動追尋,自己選擇前進的方向。
出乎意料地,當格得起而迎戰時,黑影竟從他面前遁去。於是雙方立場倒轉,格得在學院好友費渠(Vetch)的協助下,駕船在海上追逐黑影,直至東陲海域盡頭。最終格得理解到黑影其實是他自己的另一面,藉由以自己的真名「格得」呼喚黑影,他重新合而為一,為自己所犯的誤失畫下句點。
