"WHEN THE DARK COMES RISING, SIX SHALL TURN THEM BACK...."

When Will Stanton wakes up on the morning of his birthday, he discovers an

unbelievable gift -- he is immortal. Bemused and terrified, he finds he is

the last of the Old Ones, magical men and women sworn to protect the world

from the source of evil, the Dark.

At once Will is plunged into a quest to find six magical Signs to aid the

powers of the Light. Six medallions -- iron, bronze, wood, water, fire, and

stone -- created and hidden by the Old Ones centuries ago. But the Dark has

sent out the Rider: evil cloaked in black, mounted upon a midnight stallion,

and on the hunt for this youngest Old One, Will. He must find the six great

Signs before the Dark can rise, for an epic battle between good and evil

approaches.
