Three siblings embark on an epic quest for a mythic grail in this
first installment of Susan Cooper's epic and award-winning The Dark Is
Rising Sequence, now with a brand-new look!
All through time, the two great forces of Light and Dark have battled
for control of the world. Now, after centuries of balance, the Dark is
summoning its terrifying forces to rise once more...and three children
find themselves caught in the conflict.
The Drew siblings--Simon, Jane, and Barney--are on a family holiday in
Cornwall when they discover an ancient map in the attic of the house
they are sharing with their Great Uncle Merry. They know immediately
that the map is special but have no way of knowing how much. For the map
leads to a grail: a vital weapon for the Light's fight against evil. In
taking on the quest to find the grail, the Drews will have to race
against the sinister human beings who serve the dreadful power of the
dark--an adventure that puts their own lives in grave peril.
