When an illness robs Will of his powers, he must blindly trek through the Welsh hills to find a magical harp that can wake the Sleepers - six noble riders who hold the key to the final battle between the Light and the Dark. But the harp is held by the Grey King, a Lord of the Dark, and there's never been a force strong enough to tear it from his grasp.
