The Seeker — The Story



The Dark is Rising tells the story of Will Stanton, who learns on the eve of his 11th birthday that he is actually the last of the "Old Ones," a group of immortal warriors and guardians dedicated to fighting the forces of the Dark. The Dark is amidst its last great Rising to defeat the Light and take free will from the human race forever. Will, having been born with a great gift of power, is called upon a monumental heroic quest.

As the Sign-Seeker, Will embarks on a journey in search of the six magical Signs needed by the Old Ones for the future battle between the Dark and the Light. Will's endeavor is full of peril, wonder, reward, and delight as he meets myriad allies and foes in uncovering a series of mysterious clues. Will also seeks to obtain the necessary knowledge and skills for the next battle of the great war fought centuries ago by King Arthur.

The Dark is Rising features elements from English folklore woven into an exhilarating story. Magic, artifacts, mystery, good and evil characters, and Will's release from the laws of the universe that bind space and time all come together to spin an enthralling story.
