| In this book, Will has had hepititus, which made him forget that he is an Old One, one of the servants of the Light. He is sent to an aunt's in Wales so he can recover. There, he meets a strange albino boy and a dog with silver eyes, and his memory returns. He remembers now what he is and what he was sent there to do: find the golden harp. The boy, whose name is Bran Davies, and the dog, whose name is Cafall, are destined to help him in this lone quest. The harp is needed to waken the Sleepers, the last warriors that the Light need to vanquish the Dark. The Sleepers are guarded by the Brenin Llwyd-the Grey King. Will and Bran must evade the Grey King and his grey foxes to open "...the door of the birds, where the breeze breaks." If they can get past the High Magic, a force more powerful than either Dark or Light, yet sides with neither, then,"...the Light shall have the harp of gold." | ||
