My First Fantasy Book

I first read this book back when I was in high school (year isn't important), and I fell in love with Poul Andersen instantly. The story is a bit sad, as it's about the end of the sea kingdom, but it's a good sort of sadness. I think it really spoke to me because it was about the ending of one thing, but the beginning of another, and that's what graduating high school is about as well. Definitely a good story for someon in a transition period.
