The Dark Is Rising Sequence

Epic, mystical quest intertwines with Arthurian legend.

If you're drawn to tales that blend the mystique of ancient legends with a child's discovery of a hidden destiny, "The Dark Is Rising Sequence" is a compelling journey you don't want to miss. Cooper's narrative is rich and atmospheric, diving deep into a world where magic feels as real as the ground beneath your feet. It's a series that not just captivates young readers but also enchants adults with its sophisticated take on the eternal battle between light and darkness.

Description

This spellbinding volume brings together the five novels from Susan Cooper's classic fantasy "Over Sea, Under Stone"; "The Dark Is Rising"; "Greenwitch"; "The Grey King"; and "Silver on the Tree". Here Barney, Jane, and Simon discover an ancient map in Cornwall; the mysterious Merriman reveals his secret purpose; and Will Stanton realizes that he is not just an ordinary boy but has a far greater role in fulfilling his destiny. Creating a magical world where the everyday mingles with the supernatural, "The Dark Is Rising Sequence" weaves a story of secret codes, strange prophecies, the legend of King Arthur, and a centuries-old conflict between the power of good and the forces of evil.
