An amazing tale of Authurian origin captures the long struggle between the Light and the Dark. The cast of characters include Will Stanton, a young boy with hidden secrets of his ancestory, and the Drew children (Simon, Jane, and Barney) who find themselves as key roles in securing the truth of Good and Evil while being caught between the battle of Light and Dark. It is up to these four children, along with the aid of many other followers of the Light, to prevent the Dark from rising.

Young children who are into fantasy and need a good series to get them started.

The imagery and plot development of the series. Each book is great on its own, and combined they make an amazing tale.

Read more fantasy series.
