The possibility of proving the King Arthur legend isn’t their only motivation. The manuscript leads them on a latter-day quest for the Holy Grail, connected with the rising and falling battle between Good and Evil–or the Dark. It begins when they discover a secret door up to an attic, and an ancient manuscript lying as if carelessly dropped in a corner. The three Drew children, Simon, Jane, and Barney, find that Merry is the only person they can trust as they get swept into an adventure full of mystery and peril. The first book in the award-winning The Dark Is Rising quintet happens all upon a summer holiday in the south Cornish seaside village of Trewissick, where the Drew family have rented the imposing old Grey House, along with their mysterious and scholarly Great Uncle Merry.
