Ancient Legends & A Timeless Battle

Deep in the hills of North Wales, a legend speaks of a hidden golden harp, destined to be discovered by a boy and a white dog with silver eyes—a dog that can see the wind. When Will Stanton arrives in Wales to recover from an illness, he has no memory of his true purpose. But fate soon leads him to Bran, a mysterious boy, and his white dog, Cafall.

As the last-born of the Old Ones, Will is no ordinary boy. He is an immortal servant of the Light, tasked with preventing the Dark from overtaking the world. Guided by prophecy, Will must awaken the six sleepers, ancient guardians who slumber beneath the hills, in preparation for the final battle between the forces of good and evil.

Praise for The Grey King

"Susan Cooper is one of the few contemporary writers who has the vivid imagination, the narrative powers, and the moral vision that permit her to create the kind of sweeping conflict between good and evil that lies at the heart of all great fantasy. Tolkien had it. So did C.S. Lewis. And Cooper writes in the same tradition.”
