Over Sea, Under Stone

Three siblings, Simon, Jane, and Barney, are on holiday in the fictional village of Trewissick when they discover an ancient map in the attic of the house that they are staying in. The map leads them on a quest for a grail, a quest that is fraught with danger, for there are others also in search of the grail who are prepared to kill for it. The six champions of the Light join forces at last to fight the Dark in this fifth and final installment of Susan Cooper’s epic and award-winning The Dark Is Rising sequence, now with a brand-new look! The Dark is rising in its last and greatest bid to control the world. And Will Stanton -- last-born of the immortal Old Ones, dedicated to keeping the world free -- must join forces with this ageless master Merriman and Bran, the Welsh boy whose destiny ties him to the Light. Drawn in with them are the three Drew children, who are mortal, but have their own vital part in the story. These six fight fear and death in the darkly brooding Welsh hills, in a quest through time and space that touches the most ancient myths of the British Isles, and that brings Susan Cooper's masterful sequence of novels to a satisfying close.
