Synopsis

This is the third book in the fantasy series, "The Dark Is Rising". The children are on holiday in Cornwall, still on the quest for the stolen grail. Jane goes to the ancient ceremony when the Greenwitch is pitched into the sea, and she makes a perilous wish - but one which unexpectedly brings great good.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Simon, Jane and Barney, enlisted by their mysterious great uncle, arrive in a small coastal town to help recover a priceless golden grail stolen by the forces of evil, the 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 disturbing, sometimes dangerous events that, at their climax, bring forth a gift that, for a time at least, will keep the Dark from rising.
