Tho Other Wind
Ursula Le Guin

This is the fifth story in the Earthsea series which began in 'Wizard of Earthsea.'

The story begins with Alder, a village socerer who mends pots. Alder has troubling dreams about his dead wife in the land of the dead speaking to him also known as the Dry Land. In the Dry Land the grass never grows, the stars never move, families and friends pass each other without even knowing.
The dead ask Alder to free them from the place so they can return to Earthsea.

Alder seeks advice of the wizards who send him to Ged the ex-Archmage. Ged (who is the main character of the first book) tells him to see his wife Tenar (main character of second book), Tehanu (a Burnt Child who is supposedly a Dragon) and the King of Havnor (main character in third book). On their journey they are accompanied by Irien a fierce dragon who can look like a human (presumably Tehanu's sister).

The group head off on the journey to unravel the mystery of the dead. It seems that Alder the mender of pots will have to mend the world.
