Silver on the Tree
The Dark is rising in its last and greatest bid to control the world. Six individuals have come together to drive it back for good: Will, the Sign seeker; Bran, the raven boy; Jane, Simon, and Barney, the grail seekers; and Merriman, the wise mentor who unites them all. Together they stand ready to face the Rider and the full force of the Dark. But the last object of power must first be found. A sword of legend magically forged of pure crystal remains hidden in the Welsh hills. Without it, the Light has no hope against the Dark.

A strange boy and dog remind Will Stanton that he is an immortal, whose quest is to find the golden harp which will rouse others from a long slumber in the Welsh hills so they may prepare for the ultimate battle of Light versus Dark.
The present Etymological Glossary of Old Welsh is intended to offer an alphabetically arranged list of words which are found in the manuscripts transcribed before the beginning of the Middle Welsh period, and to provide them with the most important published references. Much work has been done both in the field of Old Welsh studies and Celtic lexicography since the puhlication of J. Loth's Vocabulaire vieux-bretolt in 1884 which comprised the then known data of all the early neo-Brittonic languages. Quite a few Old Welsh texts have heen edited anew; more Old Welsh fragments have been found.
