Now although the power of teamwork is on the side of the Old Ones, and lack of it against the thief, this is not enough. She accuses them all, Dark and Light alike, of being self-serving. But the Greenwitch has wild ways, and she cannot be commanded, cajoled, or out-argued, even by clever and powerful spellcasters. The skills and knowledge of Merriman, the sea captain, and the young mage Will Stanton are all called upon. But the thief is also about, with far more powers than they can combat alone, and the combined powers of the Old Ones are now required. Barney is now coming into his own as an artist, and one of his drawings is to play an important part in tale. Jane, Simon, and Barney Drew are brought back to the village at this time to recover a stolen treasure, the priceless and mysterious golden grail that they previously unearthed in a cave. The ancient and secret Greenwitch ceremony is carried out each year by the women of a Cornwall village, who make a model in twigs and flowers and cast it into the sea. This is the third book in the 'Dark Rising' series.
