Summary
Simon, Jane and Barney are vacationing with their parents in the coastal village of
Trewissick in Cornwall. Exploring the musty attic of the Grey House, the ancient home the
family has rented for their holiday, the kids discover a crackled and enigmatic map.
Merriman Lyon, a traveling professor translates the obscure Latin and Old English text on
the map. They learn that it does indeed hint at a lost treasure, a grail. Not the Holy Grail,
but a grail dating back a thousand years to the days of the original King Arthur, who
fought nobly against the forces of evil which eventually overcame him. An ancient
prophecy attached to the shrivelled map foretells that a new Arthur will one day locate
the grail, and he will take up the original king's battle against the forces of darkness.

Simon, Jane and Barney weren’t to only ones that were searching the grail. There were a
lot of people allied with the dark, that were also seeking the map and the grail.
My opinion

This book was mostly interesting, but sometimes it was boring

for me, because the author was explaining one topic for too
long. I will definitely read other books from the The Dark Is Rising
series.
