The Weirdstone of Brisingamen

When Colin and Susan are pursued by eerie creatures across Alderley Edge, the wizard - Cadellin Silverbrow - takes them to safety deep in the caves of Fundindelve. Here he watches over the enchanted sleep of one hundred and forty knights, awaiting the fated hour when they must rise and fight.

But the Weirdstone of Brisingamen is lost and the forces of evil are closing in. The children realise that they are the key to its return, but how can they defeat the powerful magic of the Morrigan and her deadly brood?

The Moon of Gomrath

Had Colin and Susan known that the Moon of Gomrath is the time of year at which the Old Magic is most likely to be aroused, they would never have lit a fire on the Beacon. When they find that their blaze is giving off no heat, it is only the last in a line of eerie discoveries. For already Susan has suffered strangely at the hands of a black and formless evil in the old quarry, and rumour has it that the hideous Morrigan, too, has left her haunts in the bleak northern wastes to bring death and destruction to pleasanter lands.

As the elves and dwarves come swiftly to the caves of Fundindelve, home of the Wizard Cadellin Silverbrow, to seek council for the coming struggle, more fearsome forces are gathering in the woods on Alderley Edge, and they, too, are preparing for battle.
