Drawn in with them are the three Drew children, who are mortal, but have their own vital part in the story. 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. The Dark is rising in its last and greatest bid to control the world. Publication date: First published in 1977 Publisher: Multiple publishers over the years What better way to snap out of a reading fugue than to take a mini-vacation into the past?

Old School Wednesdays is a weekly Book Smugglers feature. Today, she takes on the final book in the series, Silver on the Tree. Ana has been reading The Dark Is Rising Sequence for the past few months. ![]()
