Book #4 in the The Dark Is Rising Sequence series
A boy must awaken ancient forces to battle darkness in Wales.
In the Welsh hills, Will Stanton, an immortal Old One, must awaken six ancient beings to prepare for a final battle against the Dark. Guided by a mysterious boy, Bran, and his white dog, Will faces the formidable Grey King. Can he harness the power of a legendary golden harp to save the world?
There is a Welsh legend about a harp of gold, hidden 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 knew nothing of this when he came to Wales to recover from a severe illness. But when he met Bran, a strange boy who owned a white dog, he began to remember. For Will is the last-born of the Old Ones, immortals dedicated to saving the world from the forces of evil, the Dark. And it is Will’s task to wake-with the golden harp – 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.
