"The Dark Is Rising Sequence" is a collection of five compelling novels that follow the story of a group of children, primarily Will Stanton, who discover they are part of a timeless fight between the forces of the Light and the Dark. The series blends Arthurian legends, Norse myths, and British folklore, setting a rich backdrop for the characters' adventures and their quests to avert the rise of the Dark. With the first book, "Over Sea, Under Stone," readers are introduced to the Drew children as they embark on a quest to find the grail, a quest that hints at the deeper, more epic struggle touched upon in the subsequent novels.
As the series unfolds, particularly in the second book, "The Dark Is Rising," Will Stanton discovers on his eleventh birthday that he is no ordinary boy but an Old One, destined to wield the powers of the Light in the age-old battle against the encroaching Dark. Through "Greenwitch," "The Grey King," and finally "Silver on the Tree," the readers follow Will, the Drew children, and their allies as they seek out ancient artifacts, confront the malevolent forces of the Dark, and uncover the mysteries of their own destinies.
Susan Cooper elegantly weaves themes of courage, friendship, and the complexity of good versus evil throughout the series, creating not just a fantastical world but a lens through which the human experience is explored. The settings, ranging from the Cornish coast to Welsh mountains, serve not just as backdrops for the characters’ adventures but also as characters themselves, imbued with magic, history, and an ancient power that both aids and tests our heroes.
