Bookroo's summary

In a coastal town, the Drew siblings and the enigmatic Will Stanton face a daunting quest: reclaim a stolen golden grail from the clutches of evil. As the mysterious Greenwitch, a ritual sea creature, awakens with wild magic, Jane Drew must confront it alone. Can she sway the Greenwitch to the Light and thwart the Dark's rising power? With ancient forces at play, the stakes are high, and the balance of light and dark hangs in the balance. Will they succeed, or will the Dark prevail?

From the publisher

Simon, Jane, and Barney, enlisted by their mysterious great-uncle, arrive in a small coastal town to recover a priceless golden grail stolen by the forces of evil – Dark. They are not at first aware of the strange powers of another boy brought to help, Will Stanton – nor of the sinister significance of the Greenwitch, an image of leaves and branches that for centuries has been cast into the sea for good luck in fishing and harvest.

Their search for the grail sets into motion a series of distubing, sometimes dangerous events that, at their climax, bring forth a gift that, for a time at least, will keep the Dark from rising.
