The
seventh son of a seventh son, and youngest child in a big bustling
family Will Stanton thinks he's just another ordinary boy. All of
this changes on the night of his eleventh birthday when he
comes to
find that he is the Sign-Seeker, the last of the Old Ones and destined
to find and protect the six
signs of the Light in an attempt to stop
the Dark from
rising and taking over the earth. This
book is rich with the flavor of the English country side and characters that
echo both from mythology and a modern coming of age. From the
moment Farmer Dawson gives Will the first of the signs to the last
clash with the Dark and the Wild Hunt this book is a fast paced
adventure that doesn't let up and is enjoyed from the first page to the
last. Will is told ~When the Dark comes rising, Six shall turn it
back..~ But this first challenge is his and his alone!
