The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Le Guin
5.0

“arren watched his companion stand there in the narrow prow, speaking with the monstrous creature that hovered above them filling half the sky; and a kind of rejoicing pride came into the boy’s heart, to see how small of a thing man is, how frail and how terrible. for the dragon could have torn the man’s head from his shoulders with one stroke of his taloned foot, he could have crushed and sunk the boat as a stone sinks a floating leaf, if it were only size that mattered. but sparrowhawk was as dangerous as orm embar, and the dragon knew it.”



“he did not look strong, sitting hunched over his supper of bread and smoked fish, with hair greyed and fire-singed, and slight hands, and a tired face.
yet the dragon feared him.”
