Inhaltsangabe

There is a Welsh legend about a harp of gold, hidden within a certain hill, that will be found by a boy and a white dog with silver eyes -- a dog that can see the wind.Will Stanton knew nothing of this when he came to Wales to recover from a severe illness.But when he met Bran, the strange boy who owned a white dog, he began to remember.For Will is the last-born of the Old Ones, immortals dedicated to saving the world from the forces of evil, the Dark.And it is Will's task to wake --with the golden harp -- the six who must be roused from their long slumber in the Welsh hills to prepare for the last battle between the Dark and the Light.
