Description of  The Dark Is Rising (The Dark Is Rising Book 2)

"When the Dark comes rising, six shall turn it back, three from the circle, three from the track wood, bronze, iron water, fire, stone five will return, and one go alone.” With these mysterious words, Will Stanton discovers on his 11th birthday that he is no mere boy. He is the Sign-Seeker, last of the immortal Old Ones, destined to battle the powers of evil that trouble the land. His task is monumental: he must find and guard the six great Signs of the Light, which, when joined, will create a force strong enough to match and perhaps overcome that of the Dark. Embarking on this endeavor is dangerous as well as deeply rewarding Will must work within a continuum of time and space much broader than he ever imagined.
