Synopsis
The three Drew children, enlisted by their mysterious great-uncle, arrive in a small coastal town to help recover a priceless golden grail stolen by the forces of evil -- the Dark. They are not at first aware of the strange powers of another boy -- Will Stanton -- brought to help, nor of the sinister significance of the Greenwitch, an image of leaves and branches that for centuries has been cast into the sea for good luck in fishing and harvest. Their search for the grail sets into motion a series of disturbing, sometimes dangerous events that, at their climax, bring forth a gift that will keep the Dark from rising -- for a time at least. - Back cover.
