Will Stanton must face a powerful agent of the Dark in this Newbery
Medal-winning fourth installment of Susan Cooper's epic The Dark Is
Rising Sequence, now with a brand-new look!
There is a Welsh legend about a harp of gold, hidden away within a
certain hill, that will be found by a boy and a white dog with silver
eyes--a dog that can see the wind.
Will Stanton knows nothing of this when he comes to Wales to recover
from a severe illness. But when he meets the strange boy Bran and his
white dog, memory wakes in Will. For Will is the last-born of the Old
Ones, immortals dedicated to saving the world from the forces of evil,
the Dark. It is his task to use the golden harp to wake the six who must
be roused from their long slumber in the Welsh hills to prepare for the
last battle between the Dark and the Light. But first, with help from
Bran, Will must face his most terrifying opponent yet: the Grey King.
