Bookroo's summary

On a family holiday in Cornwall, the Drew siblings—Simon, Jane, and Barney—uncover an ancient map leading to a legendary grail. As the Dark rises, they must embark on a perilous quest to secure this vital weapon for the Light. With sinister forces closing in, the Drews face a race against time that could cost them everything. Will they succeed in their mission, or will the world fall into shadow?

From the publisher

On holiday in Cornwall, the three Drew children discover an ancient map in the attic of the house that they are staying in. They know immediately that it is special. It is even more than that – the key to finding a grail, a source of power to fight the forces of evil known as the Dark. And in searching for it themselves, the Drews put their very lives in peril.

This is the first volume of Susan Cooper’s brilliant and absorbing fantasy sequence known as The Dark Is Rising.
