"When the Dark comes rising, six shall turn it back, three from the circle, three from the track; wood, bronze, iron; water, fire, stone; five will return, and one go alone.” With these mysterious words, Will Stanton discovers on his 11th birthday that he is no mere boy. He is the Sign-Seeker, last of the immortal Old Ones, destined to battle the powers of evil that trouble the land. His task is monumental: he must find and guard the six great Signs of the Light, which, when joined, will create a force strong enough to match and perhaps overcome that of the Dark. Embarking on this endeavor is dangerous as well as deeply rewarding; Will must work within a continuum of time and space much broader than he ever imagined.

Simon, Jane e Barney, i protagonisti di Sopra il mare, sotto la terra , e Will Stanton, l'eroe di Uno spicchio di tenebra , non si erano mai visti prima che il misterioso Merriman li convocasse in Cornovaglia, in un paesino dove si sta per celebrare un antico rito: la costruzione di un pupazzo chiamato Stregaverde, che verrà affidato al mare perché protegga la pesca e il raccolto. Se i quattro ragazzi sono là, è per ritrovare il sacro Graal rubato dai seguaci delle Tenebre, pronte a scatenare la loro oscura magia e a impadronirsi del mondo. E toccherà a Jane, la più fragile, misurarsi con Stregaverde in persona, emersa dalle onde per impedire che il prezioso calice sia restituito ai Vetusti, gli adepti della Luca impegnati in una guerra millenaria contro il Male...

But an illness has robbed Will of nearly all his knowledge of the Old Ones, and he is left only with a broken riddle to guide him in his task. As Will travels blindly through the hills, his journey will bring him face-to-face with the most powerful Lord of the Dark - the Grey King. The King holds the harp and Sleepers within his lands, and there has yet to be a force strong enough to tear them from his grasp...

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.
