Jane's invitation to witness the making of the Greenwitch begins a series of sinister events in which she and her two brothers help the Old Ones recover the grail stolen by the Dark.
Such a good series. I find myself simultaneously wishing I had read it when I was younger, and glad that I am encountering it as a well-seasoned adult. There are some nuances and lessons here which I think I would have missed when younger. ( )
I can't believe how long it took me to read this one. I really enjoyed the other parts of the series, however, this one was just so long-winded and a let down in comparison. The final battle that has been building for 5 books was just meh. ( )
La luz y la tiniebla están a punto de enfrentarse en un decisivo combate… Mientras, el último de los Vetustos, Will Santon, tiene que cumplir una difícil misión: arrebatar la plata del Árbol de la Vida para rescatarla finalmente de la oscuridad. No está solo: lo ayudarán el mago Merriman y miles de amigos; pero el camino está lleno de obstáculos y el peligro siempre al acecho.
Stephen Stanton: Do you know Calcutta Mr. Moore? Have you ever had beggars grabbing at your feet, calling out to you, children half the size of Will here with an arm missing, or an eye, and ribs like xylophones and their legs stinking of sores? If I lived in a place with that kind of despair round me, I think I just might decide to bring up my kids in a country where they'd have a better chance. Specially a country that had exploited my own for about two hundred years. Wouldn't you? Or Jamaica, now. Do you know how many children get to a secondary school there? D'you know the unemployment rate? D'you know what the slums are like in Kingston? Do you know- ...
Mr. Moore: So what about it? All that stuff? Let them solve their own problems, not come whining over here! What's all that have to do with us? They don't belong here, none of 'em; they should all be thrown out. ... 1977

When the Dark comes rising, six shall turn it back; Three from the circle, three from the track; Wood, bronze, iron; water, fire, stone; Five will return, and one go alone.
Iron for the birthday, bronze carried long; Wood from the burning, stone out of song; Fire in the candle-ring, water from the thaw; Six Signs the circle, and the grail gone before.
Fire on the mountain shall find the harp of gold Played to wake the Sleepers, oldest of the old; Power from the green witch, lost beneath the sea; All shall find the light at last, silver on the tree.
On the day of the dead, when the year too dies, Must the youngest open the oldest hills Through the door of the birds, where the breeze breaks. There fire shall fly from the raven boy, And the silver eyes that see the wind, And the light shall have the harp of gold.
By the pleasant lake the Sleepers lie, On Cadfan’s Way where the kestrels call; Though grim from the Grey King shadows fall, Yet singing the golden harp shall guide To break their sleep and bid them ride.
When light from the lost land shall return, Six Sleepers shall ride, six Signs shall burn, And where the midsummer tree grows tall By Pendragon’s sword the Dark shall fall.
Y maent yr mynyddoedd yn canu, ac y mae’r arglwyddes yn dod.
Drake is no longer in his hammock, children, nor is Arthur somewhere sleeping, and you may not lie idly expecting the second coming of anybody now, because the world is yours and it is up to you. Now especially since man has the strength to destroy the world, it is the responsibility of man to keep it alive, in all its beauty and marvelous joy.
